"I checked the homework I gave the student which she was to read a story and answer questions. She did a good job on the homework as she answered every question correctly. I then had her read two stories and I had her highlight the most important facts of each story to help her remember what she read, and it will help her answer the questions quicker. She then answered the questions correctly. I then had her read a story and she needed to find antonyms for some of the words in the story which there was a box of antonyms that she could choose from. She did a nice job on this as well. I gave her homework to read a story and answer the questions and put the answers in a puzzle. I felt that a reason she needed to go back to the story to answer some of the questions is I needed to help her sound out some words which I believe took her away from her comprehension skills. But I believe in time she will be able to sound the words out and improve her comprehension."

"The student is becoming a master of French tenses. We did a test-like activity of all the possibilities, and she did really well. We also discussed various things about travelling and language, and her verbal French is becoming more and more natural. "

"We covered torque and rotational motion. I also helped the student conceptually understand some of the basic concepts of mechanics relating to Newton's second law of motion. We derived a few formulas and tried to clear up some of the confusion that the student was having with the abstract thinking of physics."

"We continued working with normal distribution, significance testing, and confidence intervals. I continued testing the student on correctly matching scenarios with their respective formula. Once I felt he mastered that concept, I broke down the variables again for each formula and showed him where to find the key numbers to input. We spent the majority of the session distinguishing between performing a z test or a t test. We ended the session going over AP questions and using the formulas properly."

"The student and I met in an appointment prior to his physics final. He did have one algebra question, so we did some examples related to it before moving on to physics review. We worked through several online problem sets related to work, energy, and power. He was good at solving equations once he had set them up, so I worked to make sure he knows when to apply what principle and what all the terms mean. He was very active about asking questions when he wasn't sure and in answering my questions to him. I hope he does well on all of his finals! "

"The student and I covered logarithms, rules of logarithms, applications of logarithms to exponential functions, and her homework. She made a substantial amount of progress but will also need to practice the concepts she has learned. In the next session, we will look at SAT problems."

"We used trigonometric identities to simplify and find exact solutions to problem statements featuring angles outside of the known 30, 45, 60 degree sets. In this case, the student was having some difficulty starting the problem and figuring out what trig identity to use. Overall, she was determined to see it through and ultimately patient throughout the process. I tried to incorporate the unit circles and the inherent principles in order to better facilitate the solving of the sine and cosine values of 30, 45, 60 degree angles and their multiples. The student seemed more confident in the material and was starting to solve through the problems independent of my aid. "

"The student and I reviewed a few of his practice quiz questions that he had missed. We then reviewed concepts of hypothesis testing and confidence intervals for one and two means and one and two proportions."

"A video about the power of the word "yet" was viewed to encourage self esteem when learning concepts that are difficult. A multiplication fact assessment was then given using flashcards. The student is secure in her 0s, 1s, and 2s, and she has many of her 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s. The game "Cover Your Product!" was played twice and left at the house for her to play with family members. The first time we played, she only answered for her turn. The second time, she had to answer for her turn and mine which provided the additional practice needed towards the goal of memorization. She participated willingly, and she had fun playing the game. I believe she looks forward to my return. She was fun to work with today."

"Student 1 and I finished our business letter project and mailed off the professional letter. We started a descriptive research project on the Mayan calendar so that we can work on organization and coherence with a writing topic. Student 2 and I did word lists (similar consonant sounds) and read very nicely all the different rhyme words. We read The Ugly Duckling and Oh Say Can You Say What Weather Today."

"We worked on factoring quadratic equations and simplifying terms. The student works hard and is dedicated to learning the material. I believe the disciplined approach I showed him today to factor equations helped him greatly in understanding how to do it. "
