"The student and I reviewed a homework packet that covered sections 5.1 and 5.2, solving systems of linear equations. These two sections introduced the process of solving linear equations by elimination and substitution. He was asked to solve problems and to identify the method he used and why that method was used. We also looked ahead at word problems and solving word problems using systems of two equations. "

"Today we finished chapter 13 and started chapter 14. The student picked up the concepts well. He should work to learn the formulas on his flashcards. During class he was very motivated and worked hard!"

"The student needs to hand in a draft of his literature review tomorrow, so we went over what he has written. We discussed the overall structure of the paper as well as some editing issues. We also worked on the methods section of the paper. He needed direction about how to phrase the topics in the methods section. In general, he is doing very well putting this project together. He implements suggestions and guidance that I provide very effectively. Moreover, he is using the dictation technology he has with good success."

"In this session, the student wanted to work through a study guide for an upcoming math quiz and also ask clarifying questions about the concepts being covered. Most of the study guide dealt with rigid transformations and identifying rotational and reflectional symmetry in shapes. His biggest issue was completing each transformation in a systematic manner to get the correct end result. We worked together on organizing his work and writing out all of the coordinates involved with the transformations so that he could reference them visually instead of trying to remember them in his head. Overall, he knew all of the transformation rules and, after a quick review, could discuss the pertinent concepts of symmetry."

"We had another really good session this week. We spent most of the session going through the student's homework and the associated concepts. We talked a lot about parallel and perpendicular lines. As has been the case, she was very quick to pick up on the math tricks and steps to solve the problems. I made sure, though, that she was able to use specific and accurate terminology to describe what she was doing and the logic behind it to help with the conceptual understanding. I would encourage her to go over her notes from the last couple of problems we worked, as they were more conceptual and involved higher order thinking and more planning. As always, she was very engaged and willing to work for the entire session. "

"I helped the student with a physics lab designed to introduce her to vectors and vector properties. She responded well to some real-life analogies, like taking different routes to school."

"Today the student worked with multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers. The concepts covered included multiplying and dividing negatives, positive and negative and two positives. He also worked with this concept using algebraic equations. He did well and was able to complete his assignment. He also worked with a Language Arts assignment and wrote a rough draft for his imaginary monster. He did a great job!"

"At this session the student and I went over the respiratory system. We went over the structures of the lung and the path that air travels. We also went over how the gas exchange occurs and how the gas is carried in the blood. We will meet again on Thursday for a final review before his quiz on Friday."

"We went over reading/ language sections of the SAT and reviewed content in the book. The student will complete a practice exam this coming week to review for next time. He is moving towards developing strategic approaches to multiple choice questions and is improving on eliminating obvious wrong choices. I also provided feedback on rhetorical analysis that he conducted while trying out the essay section. While he is able to pull relevant information and organize information relatively well, he will need to work on more detailed analysis of specific rhetorical strategies."

"We worked on finishing the student's causal analysis essay. We added some extra information to her last point and finished the conclusion paragraph. She is doing great. She's learning a lot about organizing a paper, editing, and putting her thoughts into a logical order. She's struggling somewhat with articles like "a," "the," "an," etc. With someone to help edit her papers, she does a great job!"

"The student did great today as usual!!! :)Today we worked on circle chords, sector areas, and arc lengths. He seemed to have no trouble with these. I recommended he periodically quiz himself on the formulas for the various geometric terms he's learning, as they'll most likely be on the final exam. Examples: formula for area of a triangle, volume of a cone/pyramid, sphere, surface area of these figures, etc. Next week we'll meet Wed. at 5pm."

"The student expressed an interest in Greek mythology the last time we met. I brought over several reading selections of the more popular Gods and heroes. He loved them and read great. His homework is to write his own myth, with him being a God or hero. "
