"The student and I worked on reviewing her vocabulary words for her test in school tomorrow. We also worked on reading short paragraphs and pulling out the main idea. I gave the sta sheet to practice this weekend on long/short vowel sounds and providing an example of each. "

"The student and I worked on polynomial functions in mathematics today. Next week she will complete all homework problems (they are very long and we could only get through a few this week) and ask me questions on any she doesn't understand. We will then continue on in the material. "

"The student and I worked on Chapter 7, sections 1-7. This covered a wide variety of material, including number sets, interval notation, mathematic properties, radicals, exponents, graphing linear equations, and function notation. We'll be meeting again on Thursday to prepare for her test on Friday."

"The student and I continued working through SAT questions. We've focused on long reading comprehension passages, identifying sentence error questions, and easy to medium mathematics sections. I found that her progress had dropped the past few sessions, and we determined that her progress was the result of completing her SAT work during school. I'm hoping that she'll be able to spend time outside of school to complete her SAT work. Again, she is a pleasure to work with!"

"The student and I went over PSAT material since the PSAT was the next day. We worked through three math sections where he had some trouble with seeing geometry stuff, but generally he did very well. We will continue with precal, most likely tangent graphs."

"Today we worked on a worksheet covering 30-60-90 right triangles and 45-45-90 right triangles. She did very well and already knew the ratio of the side for each kind of triangle. She breezed through the starting problems, which were just one triangle and a given side. She quickly was able to figure out the other sides with little trouble. When we started working on composite shapes, such as a trapezoids formed by a rectangle and two triangles, she had a little trouble. However, she was soon doing very well with them. She is doing very well and seems to have a good grasp for the geometry concepts and her algebra is very strong. She has been doing excellent in every session."

"We began with some standardized test prep today. We looked over a practice test on grammar and sentence structure the student had completed previously, and he did very well. We also worked on some reading comprehension questions from the same practice test. We continued our work on Latin roots to help build his vocabulary, comparing those with the words on his list for the upcoming school spelling bee. For the remainder of the session we reviewed the American Revolution for his test tomorrow."

"The session mostly covered stoichiometry. We discussed how elements dissolve from one side of the equation and form on the other side during a reaction. First the student found how many moles were in an individual element of an equation and the rate of change. This was built upon by using the rate ratio to find the rate of change for the remaining elements. Answers included drawing from previous knowledge of scientific notion and significant figure. She made note cards of her formulas to study. She has excellent algebra skills and when we replaced elements with x,y symbols instead, she was able to solve the equations quickly and accurately. "

"The student and I covered Module 5 in his textbook together. I introduced decomposition, formation, and combustion reactions as well as Avogadro's number. We worked on all of the "On Your Own" problems in the chapter. We did some more ACT prep at the end of our session. "

"Today the student and I reinforced the material learned during the past two sessions by working through more sample problems. He has a very good understanding of functions and relations, as well as how to construct linear equations. I believe he will do well on his quiz and test this week."

"Today we went over a simplification of the process for calculating income taxes. The student's book presented examples for contributions to income, tax deductions and exemptions, tax brackets and tax credits. We went over the process and worked through multiple examples."
