"The student and I went over each one of his school subjects to see what sorts of things they are starting out the semester with. We talked about the Pythagorean Theorem for mathematics, and briefly discussed the following day's class discussion about ratios and proportions. We talked about the book that he has chosen for his reading assignment. We did a writing prompt about the sights and sounds of a carnival in which I asked him to try to be as descriptive as possible with his writing. We finished by discussing the classwork he is doing in history class about human rights and dictators."

"During this session, we reviewed area and circumference of circles and finding volumes of rectangular prisms and pyramids. She did much better this session and she answered most questions quickly and correctly, and she better understood the formulas and how to use them. I was very encouraged by this session and thought she did very well. "

"Today we covered a frequency chart and looked at if the graphs were positive or negatively trending. We also reviewed adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. I left them with the fractions practices. "

"I helped the student by checking his reducing worksheet, quizzing him on his vocabulary, timing and checking another reducing worksheet, and going over his math project. He was attentive and did his work diligently. "

"Today we went over the transformation notation for quadratic equations and how to use it to graph parabolas shifted from the standard function. The student felt increasingly confident with the material as we worked through multiple examples. "

"The student worked on his reading homework. We reviewed the rule of three and magic helpers within a story. He was able to explain the rule of three, but wasn't sure of the magic helper. We found the definition on his paper and went over it. He was able to explain both terms in a more confident way after finishing the paper. I also tested his comprehension of the short stories he read. He was able to give me most of the information with prompting. We went on to work on adding fractions with unlike denominators. I reviewed with him that he needed to create equivalent fractions with common denominators in order to add. He was able to create the equivalent fractions and add. I then switched to adding of mixed numbers. He was able to perform this skill fairly well. An answer he had was an improper fraction. He remembered the term improper fraction and was able to define it in his own words. "

"For this session, we covered what was going to be on the student's test, which were Units 1 and 2 from her French language textbook. The majority of the session was dedicated to the worksheets in her assigned French workbook, and the exercises were excellent preparatory material for her test. We covered introductions in French, greetings, numbers, family members, and vocabulary that is expected to be on the test. The worksheets were comprised of fill-in-the-blank, matching, and multiple choice format questions. We refreshed everything that we've learned thus far in our sessions. I helped with pronunciation, French grammar, and punctuation while she worked on the worksheets. It was a productive session."

"Tonight, we had our first real session with instruments, as the student has gotten her keyboard. We spent the first half of the session focused on sight reading- recognizing and translating the notes from page to mind to instrument- mostly concerning pitch but establishing the basic meaning of time signatures and rhythm as well. This is a lot of new material for someone who's never played at all, and she did well! We spent the second half of the session playing with good old Heart N Soul, which is in itself a lesson in chord progressions, formation, key, and tempo. We worked with a beginner Russian piano book, which I gave her to take home and work on before our next session. It was really great."

"The student is doing great! She got a 90 on her last math exam and is definitely feeling more confident about the material. We have a good system set up with scheduling and she is a great student to work with - a very perceptive learner. "

"During this session we worked on decimals. The student is able to add decimals, however is still experiencing difficulty in multiplying and dividing decimals. We will continue to work on this skill next time we meet. "

"The student completed a math homework packet during most of the session. She used coordinate plotting concepts to answer problems and questions. She made errors in the early going, and we took time correcting those errors. We moved on to some algebra problems. Once she picked up on earlier learned concepts, the packet became less challenging for her, and she finished the packet well. We spent a little time reviewing a major writing assignment she had begun two weeks ago. We discussed a paragraph from a news article that she needed to address in completing her assignment. This assignment is due this Friday. She will spend time working on this during Thursday's session."
