"This week we covered scientific notation and exponents, specifically negative and to the 0 power. The student had a bit of trouble remembering the concepts. We reviewed the concept and I emphasized to her and the mom that concepts are important to know. Overall her grades have been good."

"We covered a few conceptual terms regarding DNA structure at different levels again: genes, double helix, chromosomes. This was mainly in regards to a worksheet that the student had for homework. We also talked about RNA and mRNA, although it didn't seem to be on his worksheet. I was impressed that he was asking on his own - it seems as though he heard the term in class. The rest of the time was spent going over a math worksheet. It mainly involved multiplying with decimal points. The student is perfectly capable of doing this level of math on his own (and doing it well). His main issue was skipping steps and not keeping track of his decimals. I gave him a few pointers about how many decimal places to keep in his answers. The student would work on the problem and I would simply scan his process to make sure it was correct. Also, he was good about keeping himself on track. He seems pretty intent on making the most of the tutoring sessions, which makes both of our jobs easier."

"We went over logarithmic functions and exponential equations. We went over the rules of logarithms and properties of logarithmic functions. We also went over the change in exponential functions. "

"The student worked on homework and indicated he is becoming comfortable with the material. We progressed topics today to include FOIL and factoring quadratics, solving for x, and arithmetic and geometric number series. The student will do practice from the book he checked out from the library, as well as work on worksheets I email him."

"Today we covered factorization and the quadratic formula. Assuming that ax^2 + bx+ c=0, we picked 2 factors of c that multiplied to c and add up to b. She did not take long to understand that. She was having trouble with the quadratic formula. Because she had a difficult time identifying a, b, and c , she could not substitute them into the quadratic formula. This is all we covered. She paid attention to everything I said, and was comfortable with the material by the end of the session."

"It was our first meeting, which automatically included a brief introductory session. As it was evident that he is an extremely gifted student, I chose to have a less rigid, more free-flowing, Q-&-A-based session. He has already done plenty of preparation work on his own, and we focused on the few topics he had some trouble with. We went over some reading comprehension materials, focusing on discussing some more refined topics such as the tone and style, as well as speed reading techniques. With math, we covered some new materials such as the classification of quadrilaterals and the basic concepts and computation of the base five system. "

"The student has been writing a creative/historical essay on the Revolutionary War Stamp Act. Together, we finished the essay, perfected dialogue and verb tenses, and added creative detail to the essay. He worked on his editing skills and made creative choices about his own work."

"During our first session, the student told me about her writing assignment and her math test tomorrow. We finished up her writing by proofreading it and making some corrections. Then we went over her review/ study guide for her math test, fixed some errors, and completed the unfinished part. At the end, we used the mini whiteboard to practice writing sentences in past and present tense, and also to practice verb forms (dog chews/ dogs chew)."

"The student worked on combinations, permutations, and the fundamental counting principle. He had little or no pre-existing understanding of these concepts, but he was highly engaged and attentive throughout the session and appeared to have a strong grasp of everything we covered by the end of the session. He was often unsure of the order of operations in complex computations, and needed reminders to help him along. He has quite a bit of homework to do, so I just asked him questions that helped him toward the process of reasoning through the problems on his own. All in all it was an outstanding session. "

"Today we went over exponents, order of operations, and long division. The student was struggling initially with long division. He was positive towards the material that was reviewed. I told him things that he should study and showed him a few properties of exponents that he was not taught yet. I told him to practice his multiplication facts. He is doing well. He understands exponents pretty well and shouldn't have any problems with them. He could work on his multiplication facts and long division more."

"We worked on finite sums and Riemann sums. The student didn't struggle much; she picked up left hand, middle and right hand rules easily enough and made the same basic mistakes most students make and understood the mistakes and learned from them. She had a good attitude as usual."
