"We reviewed the student's progress report and addressed areas that needed work. We also created a comprehensive study schedule for her finals. Lastly, we did her history writing assignment that is due tomorrow."

"The student and I started with chemistry. We reviewed ionic equations again. Net ionic equations, half equations, oxidation/reduction, etc. We finished with related rates review. I mentioned the acronym DREDS (diagram, rates, equation, differentiate, substitute) to try and address related rates. Overall, he is doing well. He seems to still get stuck on a few minor details, but overall he seems to be getting the material. "

"The student and I talked about the structure of DNA, its function in genetics, and a few specific ideas to focus on in preparation for his upcoming test. We went through one of his homework sheets about functional translation together, and he was the most confident I have ever seen him with this. He is really becoming comfortable with moving through multiple problems and sticking to what he knows without having to second and third guess himself on every problem. "

"We spent the bulk of the session going over sound, light, and optics. I discussed the sign conventions for the Doppler Effect at length I explained how one must evaluate the detector and source in turn, assessing whether each contributes to an increase or decrease in perceived frequency. The student certainly felt more comfortable after our discussion. We also reviewed logarithms in light of understanding sound intensity. She felt pretty confident with light, but she needed thorough review of optics, including Snell's Law and the differences between reflection and refraction. We discussed how to effectively recall sign conventions for converging and diverging mirrors and lenses. Finally, I explained Bohr's model of the atom, energy levels, and the photoelectric effect, and though she seemed to understand, I encouraged her to do practice problems on her own to test her independent knowledge."

"The students and I worked on a review sheet for their exam on quadratic equations. We focused on imaginary numbers, simplifying radicals, and interpreting information from the various forms of quadratic functions (vertex, intercept, and standard form). This session was conducted in an online video chat."

"The student and I worked on writing before she retakes the test. The big thing we talked about was planning and drafting her essay. The student felt like she had too many ideas to write a good essay or else did not know enough about the topic, so we used some of the SAT/ACT strategies. From here on out, she needs to decide her position, brainstorm 3-5 ideas to back up her position, pick the best 2-3, and plug them into the 5- paragraph essay format. Each paragraph is going to be short, since the essay is 26 lines, but they are to be clear, concise, and conversational. We worked with four prompts, practicing the strategies, and she was supposed to write an entire essay for practice. "

"Met with the student to go over material for a test on Thursday. Briefly reviewed concepts in combinations and permutations and then covered new topics in min/max solutions for systems of linear equations. The student seemed to have a good grasp of the material, but I was able to offer a few additional pointers to help quickly visualize relationships between equations."

"First session. We worked through the first half of a practice test, covering basic algebra, word problems, lines and graphs, and imaginary numbers. The student appeared to make excellent progress throughout the session. "
