"The student worked on a civics paper that is due soon. It's coming along nicely. During the next session, we will focus on math, as the student mentioned he had an upcoming math test."

"We reviewed a previous test that the student struggled with. She was attentive and engaged. We went over each problem on the test. She understood the concepts on the majority of question. She and her mom recognize that the best way to reinforce the concepts that we review is practice and vows spending more time working on geometry."

"Worked through an introduction to calculus very quickly. Covered limits, derivatives, chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, related rates. Recommended website for extra practice. Made an impressive amount of progress in two hours."

"The student worked on simplifying fractions and turning improper fractions into proper fractions. She is still having trouble with pulling out the wholes and when to reduce a fraction. She also completed her homework which consisted of place value. The student worked on her homework which included adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. She also had to identify which fraction was bigger. She did very well on these concepts. "

"Focus was on more difficult second grade phonics flash cards and specific phonics words that focused on b and d recognition sounds to distinguish between the two. We reviewed several of the student's homework assignments that she received consistent high marks of A's and B's, showing her successful mastery of her assigned reading and writing comprehension on more challenging words. She recognizes where she struggles and is eager to continue with the phonics based practices, given she sees her steady progress. She shows good mastery of sounding out bigger words instead of using word recognition, as this shows her use of the phonics skill set she's being taught. She is asked to continue her review of a combination of simple and more difficult flash cards to gain a better ease at forming and learning larger words. I'm pleased with the student's progression and interest in her reading."

"The student has a standardized test this week in various subjects. To prepare him for the math section, we went through various topics, including fraction addition and subtraction, fraction multiplication and division, decimals, area, perimeter, algebra, and some other topics. He understands the topics, but does need to practice, to keep on top. Especially with the algebra. "

"The student finished up the unit today, factoring trinomials. He struggled to get to the right answers at times but kept a good attitude and eventually became comfortable so that he could solve the problems on his own each time. Since the mistakes he makes are usually small, I stressed the importance of writing down each small calculation to help him organize his thought process onto paper."

"I first read a lengthy paragraph the student had written for homework. Following this, I gave her exercises on how to incorporate adjectives and adverbs into her sentences, and she will finish this up for homework. With the time remaining, I explained another writing assignment for the week. She is to write a personal narrative using the first two steps of the writing process: the pre-write and then the draft. The pre-write includes a sheet on how to structure her thoughts and then a second sheet to list the order of events that took place in her personal experience."

"Today I proctored two quizzes for the student, then we went over determinants again. He is doing well."

"For my first session with this student I spent a little time getting to know something about him. I discussed with him what he thought were the possible causes for his declining grades in reading. Based on this discussion, and the ones with his grandmother and mother, I selected several reading evaluation activities for him. Using the results from these evaluations I will design and develop a learning program that focuses on his reading challenges. "

"The student sent his essay ahead of time so that I could write comments throughout. During his session, we looked over my line comments as well as my more global suggestions. His peers had suggested that he work on transitions between paragraphs, so we worked on creating more focused topic sentences for each paragraph. We also worked on making his thesis stronger so that it was more specific and focused. Lastly, we looked at his counter-arguments in the last 2 paragraphs and elaborated on those. He will still need to go through his essay and pare down a lot of the information, and we talked about how to tie all the information back to his thesis continually throughout the paper. His writing is technically clear, and he has a good sense of the mechanics of writing."
