"We went through the chart given by his school and found out what areas he needs improvement in. We will focus on those areas more. We introduced ourselves to each other briefly since this is the first session. I let him write one paragraph of anything that interests him. He wrote about model car racing. I corrected a few grammatical mistakes including punctuation mistakes. I made some suggestions on how to make this paragraph into a longer essay and where to add more supporting details. I gave him some homework (to write a short essay using compare and contrast). He said he would write something about two video games--their similarities and differences. I told him to bring his textbook and his binder back to our next class. "

"She received an A on her geometry exam!!! We completed 2 sections (decimals, scientific notation, rounding, placeholders) and the majority of the third section (number properties). Overall, she was able to answer these questions without my help. We will continue to finish this textbook work at our next session, but meanwhile as she continues some of it in her free time, I suggested ways in which she can increase her efficiency. She often tries to come up with/solve an example problem for concept questions. Since the exam is multiple choice, we talked about strategies for ruling out one option immediately and then using critical thinking skills to solve from there, using number samples only as verification of the answer choice (especially for Even/Odd or Neg./Pos. question types). "

"We covered old quiz topics such as compound interest and logarithms. We also covered what will be on the quiz next week, which was graphing polynomial functions and geometric series. The student had both of them under her belt extremely well by the end of the session and I trust that she will ace the quiz next week."

"The student and I spent this session preparing for his chapter 11 test to be taken the next day. We began by discussing each concept introduced within each section of the chapter. I had him lead the discussion by walking me through these ideas and detailing how he would approach sample problems of each type. Occasionally, I would add some details to his explanation in order to clarify some processes, but once I was satisfied with his understanding, we moved on. Before our session, I had prepared a worksheet of rational equation problems that were more difficult than those found in his book. I had originally planned to have him work through sets of problems before checking multiple answers at once, but we instead worked through each problem individually. He was able to solve most problems on his own, but there were a few instances in which I had to remind him to use parentheses to keep track of sign changes. After we finished this worksheet, we talked briefly about working through dimensional analysis and combined work problems. I ended the session by checking in with his parents discussing the work we had done, what mistakes to watch out for on the test, and an extra worksheet that I had left him for additional practice."

"The student showed me a reflection paper she wrote for class, and I went over it with her for grammar and sentence structure. The paper was good. Next, she went over an article and tried to summarize the main points. Because of the length and stuffiness of the article, I helped her find the main points by highlighting them in the text and explaining/summarizing orally the idea of each specific section. At the end of the session, she had me participate in a field project for her linguistics class. We had an interview, and she had me fill out a questionnaire. I pointed out to her that her questions were very relevant, and she just needs to watch out for grammar."

"We talked about quadrilaterals, parallelograms and congruent triangles. The student had a good attitude and worked hard - we made it through a lot of problems and proofs."

"The student and I went over her homework, and after doing one problem, she realized what she was doing wrong and continued the rest of the problems without help. She just needed a little guidance to help her out, but I believe she has it down. "

"This session was dedicated to reviewing how to solve systems of multiple equations. We practiced three different ways to solve these systems -- substitution, elimination, and graphing. The student is very comfortable with solving problems by substitution. Elimination was a new topic for him (it will be covered in his class later this week) but he caught on quickly. Graphing gave us a good opportunity to review y=mx+b form. We'll continue to review these topics, particularly elimination and graphing, in the next session. "

"Today's session had a flare of excitement as the student challenged a lot of the equations we were using and was actively engaging in every part of the session. From calculating normal vector questions to measuring the relationship between time velocity and acceleration, her attitude was exuberant and engaging. "

"Today we did a review of homework problems that involved finding the point slope formula for parallel and perpendicular formulas. In addition, I designed a practice quiz for the student and reviewed the answers to better prepare him for tomorrow's in-class quiz. "

"We reviewed percents and the homework problems I had assigned to him. He is doing well with percents as well as with the tables we covered. His long division and arithmetic have also improved. The student told me this will be his last session before the exam, but we are confident that he will do well on his electrical exam because we have really practiced all the different math problems.
