"The student is currently learning restaurant talk in his Spanish class. We reviewed how to express what you want, what you would like, tasting, and expressing likes and dislikes. We engaged in dialogue including foods, table settings, and useful phrases in a restaurant setting. The student also described locations of the items on the table. We reviewed in detail how to use several verbs such as servir, poner, ser and estar. The student was able to complete all of the activities, and has shown improvement. I want to see him improve his spelling, and I assigned a writing assignment for the next two days to prepare the student for this week's quiz. We will meet again next week. "

"Today we first reviewed some questions we went over last time, using adjectives. I could tell that the student had reviewed these questions during the week because she was answering much faster. I told her about a flashcard site that she could use to review vocabulary and pronunciation, and also to pick up new words. A strategy we went over today was to think about the question in English and consider which elements would be necessary before immediately answering in Swedish. She is going to look over the next chapter's dialogue in the book so that we can move forward with chapter two next time. I think her intuition and pronunciation in Swedish is really improving! "

"We covered an important portion of the student's textbook chapter 4, from composite functions to logarithms. We only covered theory, and at a fast pace. The student was able to follow almost everything, but she needs time to let all of this settle in. "

"I started teaching Student 1 how to solve systems of linear equations by graphing using x and y-intercepts. We went through a few problems together, and then he did some on his own. I continued with Student 2, going through his homework on the aforementioned subject. They both did very well with the problems and both had very good attitudes today."

"In this session we reviewed the student's last quiz, and she finished most of her homework for the day. The topic currently being covered is similar right triangles, section 9.1 in her book, and she seems to understand the concepts well. I'm trying to encourage her to work more independently, so that she will be better able to complete her tests. "

"During this session, the student and I discussed some of the chemistry topics he was to go over this upcoming weekend. This time we went over properties of gases and liquids, which included both their colligative properties and the energy associated with them. During this time we also went over diffusion and effusion as well. Overall, I believe that this session was successful in that we were able to go over all the topics in a timely and efficient manner. "

"The student started with computer sentence completion, however this time we timed it (10 questions, 6 minutes), and she had to complete independently. She only missed two questions and was able to do them with minimal help when we went back and re-read the questions together. Then, we worked on the grade 4 Fry Word List. Then, we did her math homework from school that focused on adding coins. Then, we went over her school spelling words (kn, wr, gn, mb). We finished with a short story followed by 5 multiple choice comprehension questions. "

"Student A: We worked on skip counting by 10's, regrouping, adding tens, adding 2-digit numbers, and she completed her math homework. Student B: We reviewed his math homework of dividing decimals as well as completed supplemental problems for practice with concept."

"The student and I worked on rational exponents, simplifying problems to change fractional exponents into radicals and visa versa. We did at least 12 problems together. She has some knowledge of the subject matter, but is hesitant about what steps to take when. We practiced simplifying, talking about the proper order/ steps to take to get the final answer. We also had to review how to add and subtract fractions. She is getting better at getting the right answer, but still needs practice. She will take more time in doing these problems until she feels comfortable doing them. We plan to meet in a couple of days. I hope to again do at least one problem so I can see how she is progressing in this."

"We covered decomposing rational functions and how to integrate them. The material was fairly new to the student, so I went over how to do the problems given to him, and we worked through them together. Then, I supervised while he solved some on his own. We also reviewed polynomial long division as a prerequisite technique to solve some of the problems. "

"The student wanted me to time him when he completed his multiplication facts (7's) and we did that several times. We were able to work on some fractions as well."
