"Student 1: Language Arts- matching number, tense, punctuation. Continue working on this next week Math - Long Division Student 2: Math homework - taking time to write down the work. Organizing thoughts. Processes behind comparing fractions. "

"Because of the special circumstances at the student's school, he did not have the normal homework schedule. Therefore, while we did spend about forty minutes going over his spelling homework, we also spent about forty minutes reading. The student enjoys "Fox In Socks" and I believe Dr. Seuss will be a good tool to help him recognize words. I am developing a plan to encourage him to actually put forth effort to read, rather than relying on his memory."

"Today the student and I talked about his Hobbit essay, worked on SSAT verbal prep, and wrote a short essay about poverty and how it should be addressed. We also talked about crime and incarceration in the United States. "

"First, we called the bookstore to reserve a copy of the textbook for the student's new class, which meets on Thursday evenings. We then completed the assigned reading for her Wednesday class (anthropology)."

"The student and I continued review for his test this week. We went over solving exponential functions and logarithmic functions as well. Then moved on to more derivatives with those topics. He continues to improve."

"Worked with the student on his math homework and reading in his source book. We finished with extra time, so we were able to look ahead to the next lesson in his math book and work through a few practice problems. Now that I've had a few sessions with this student, I think one area that will really help his performance is connecting different types of math concepts in order to solve a problem as efficiently as possible. (i.e. beginning with estimation, and then understanding how to move from estimation to getting a specific answer, or extrapolating from his basic multiplication tables to help with a more complex problem). I'm trying to encourage this by approaching problems in different ways and helping him make those connections. "

"The student and I finished correcting her 2 step equation problems and went over how to set up the equations for these problems. We also went over function operations and the Pythagorean theorem word problems. She is doing much better than before. We still need to work on her being a little more careful with her negative signs though!"

"In our second session, the student and I picked up where we had left off with modal verbs. We discussed the remaining two verbs and went over their conjugations and their proper usage in the present, past, and future tenses. We quickly reviewed stem-changing and separable verbs, then went on to discuss verbs that end in -ten and -den, which have slightly irregular conjugations. The student and I went over how to express liking something, which can be done in two ways in German depending on whether the object is a noun or a verb. "

"First student: We prepped for her upcoming chemistry exam. Topics included: balancing chemical equations, finding molar ratios, converting from grams to moles using formula weight and finding percent composition of an element in a compound. In geometry we went over the steps of writing a rhombus proof and I left some handouts that were particularly helpful (in my opinion) that she can look over on her own and ask me questions about next week. Second student: We went over one homework problem (addition) and then focused on borrowing from the 100s place in subtraction (for example 103-6). "

"Focused on Critical Reading skills: The student took 2 practice and 2 sample Critical Reading sections. Improved error rate and determined his speed avails him of fully reviewing each section. Reviewing "Elements of Style" regularly."

"Today we went through the student's last exam in detail. He's got another exam next week so we'll be working on that over the next few sessions. The test will be primarily probability based, including the conditional probability problems we did today. Next session we'll be finishing up the probability section. The student is doing very well."
