"The student and I studied for his Spanish exam using the aforementioned methods. I noticed significant improvement in vocabulary retention even from Sunday to now."

"Today's session with the student started with a skills review. During our skills review, she gains additional practice with previously taught skills which assists in knowledge and skill maintenance. This session's skills review component included practice with multiplication and addition with multi-digit numbers involving regrouping, identifying factors of a given product, rounding, and place value. The instructional focus of today's session was place value, including writing a given number in word form, standard form, and place value notation up to the millions place. We will continue to practice this skill in our next session on Monday, as well as, continue fluency practice involving addition and multiplication facts. "

"We worked on using the distributive property and partial products to break down harder multiplication problems into ones that are easier to solve. "

"Today the student wanted to start with reading from Geronimo Stilton. As she read she was able to make corrections and reread words that didn't make sense. We also stopped throughout the chapter to discuss comprehension strategies. After that, she worked on math word problems. She used a whiteboard to help her solve the problems. Some of the problems were more challenging for her especially the ones that consisted of several parts. I helped her to think about how to break the problems into more manageable pieces. After that she worked in an addition workbook for quick practice on mental math. I want her to start relying on other strategies to solve simple addition problems other than counting on her fingers. I am currently showing her other methods to use when solving mental math problems."

"The student has a test on Monday over chapter 2. We reviewed inductive vs deductive reasoning. We did some practice problems involving "special" angles (alternate interior, vertical, alternate exterior, collinear) and did some "angle chases." We also went over finding the equation for the nth term of a sequence by using reasoning to find the pattern and turn it into an equation. He is understanding concepts very quickly and doesn't have any trouble interpreting questions."

"The student had a worksheet covering topics in trigonometry. She had to work angles in both degrees and radians with rotations both positive and negative. Then there were evaluating trig functions at given angles all around the unit circle. Finally, she had to work backwards and find the angle of a trig function equation given the exact value. She had all the memorized parts down well and was just making a couple of small errors. "

"We started to talk about simplifying radicals today, which included combining two radicals with multiplication, rationalizing the denominator, and finding perfect square factors. The student didn't really seem to have a lot of trouble comprehending the material. In science, we discussed the neutralization of acids and bases, titration, and the formation of salts. He seems to have forgotten the difference between positive and negative ions, and how to tell which is which. This is something we'll have to review more before the test."

"We covered square roots of variable expressions and simplifying radicals. The student struggled with finding the perfect squares when trying to simplify the radicals. I shared a useful website that simplifies radicals so he can practice. He seemed to struggle with understanding how to multiply expressions when there was a variable under the radical. I will find additional practice for this type of problem."

"The student can learn new concepts quickly. She overall did well on the math section of the SSAT. We went over exponents and square roots today, and she understands these concepts."

"As the student had indicated some difficulties with pronouns, the subject was revisited. Various examples were provided using appropriate situational conversations. Further explanations were provided regarding indirect and direct pronouns. The difference between first person was further explained as was the second person."

"We went over a retake test that she took which covered finding the y intercept, zeros, and graphing quadratic equations. Her score went up 20% from the first time she took it. The student's only mistakes were in minor mathematical errors, rather than technique, which she has vastly improved on. "
