"The student did not have any homework to go over for our session and felt confident in everything up to the point she was at in class so we decided to go over more problems that she will see for her upcoming ACT test she plans to take. We went over mostly geometry problems again and a few linear equations working with graphs."

"Today the student and I spent our time working on probability homework once again. As before, the student had a few homework problems to complete, so we moved through them and I helped her along the way. The student didn't have too much trouble with her assignment. I think the student's understanding of probability theory deepened and expanded as a result. This will no doubt help her as she moves forward in her studies."

"The student did great reading to me. Then, we went over her spelling words for the week. She wrote down all her spelling words and made sentences out of each word. She drew a picture to go along with the words."

"The student finished the essay assignment. She had a great attitude. She wants to learn. We discussed essay strategies and grammar related concepts. The final draft of her essay was a nice improvement from the draft two days prior. Her writing has improved since we started."

"The student and I covered L'Hopital's Rule, antiderivatives, and indefinite integrals. Of these topics, L'Hopital's Rule was the most novel. We utilized textbook examples and practice problems to study."

"We first reviewed what was taught in the previous session, including the alphabet and household items. The student studies hard and was able to memorize most of those words. We then covered airport related vocabularies, as well as numbers (from 0 to 29). I also taught her a very brief self introduction, which I hope to expand when her English gets better in the next few weeks. "

"The students are taking their midterms this week. They were advised to study their homework packets and that's what we did. Together, we flipped through the packets and targeted subjects that were relatively difficult, as well as the new material on exponential functions. We went over how to build an exponential function from a table of values, how to solve for variables algebraically, and recursive and explicit equations. I think they gained confidence in these areas and I made sure they didn't have any further questions for the exam before I left."

"The student and I worked to increase her comfort level with the algebra 2 topics she will soon be tested on. We focused on polynomials, specifically finding roots using the rational root test and synthetic division. We also found polynomial expressions when given their roots. Additionally, we reviewed quadratic equations, the quadratic formula, FOIL, and factoring out quadratics. We incorporated concepts and problems related to complex numbers throughout."

"The student and I went over the new word problem topics in precalculus. This included equations for the Richter scale, sound equations, pH equations, and primarily interest rate and growth/ decay problems (Pe^rt and P(1+r/n)^nt). He worked on his two worksheets and the review sheet as well. All of these problems heavily emphasized the importance of the relationship between log/ln and exponents and knowing which equation to use and how to rearrange them. He did a good job! He should continue to practice problems like this daily (homework included), and he will master the material in no time."

"The student and I covered Chi-Square and confidence interval problems. She had to look up the conditions for each test a few times, but she is becoming increasingly comfortable with them. I encourage her to continue to study both conditions and confidence intervals for the AP exam. "

"We tested the student's chi squared skills, since during class the teacher assigned the student a worksheet to practice with. I included a new strategy for teaching the student...a document webcam. The USB external webcam provided a bird's-eye-view of my hand, calculator, pen, and paper- working through the problems. Seeing how to arrive at the answer helped the student understand quicker and stay more interested. Likewise, troubleshooting problems with calculating were corrected more quickly with the document camera. The student got all of the answers right with chi squared. And the last two, with only 10 minutes left, the student whizzed through...and correctly answered them. An excellent session overall. "
