"We caught up on most of the material today. We didn't do many new problems but hopefully when we meet tomorrow we can finish getting caught up. The student understands physics well when we go through it as long as he checks his understanding at each step. Hopefully tomorrow will round him out and he will have a good understand of all the material up to date."

"We reviewed thoroughly the first 2 chapters of vocabulary and basic grammatical structures that flow from conversations (describing people, asking where they are from, talking about how someone is, etc.) We also learned (for the first time) and memorized counting to 100. The student was very patient with himself."

"I first worked with Student 1 and we reviewed linear systems, and using elimination and substitution to solve. I had him graph the equations and make a guess before he did the algebra. Also we reviewed inequalities as that is the next concept for school. Next I worked with Student 2 on AP Calculus. We reviewed for a test definite and indefinite integrals, and the trapezoid rule and Riemann."

"The student and I went over the different parts of the assessment test and what it covers. We discovered that she needs to study all the sections of the book. In order to adequately prepare she will need to some work on her own. She said her strength is Language Arts and her weakness is Mathematics. Therefore, she will begin doing 2 Language Arts chapters a week on her own. If she has questions, we will go over them and review the material. When in a session we will focus on the mathematics portion - especially decimals, percents, and Algebra. This time we reviewed basic operations, fractions, and changing a fraction into a decimal and a percent. She needs to practice multiplying and dividing fractions. We will continue working on percents and decimals next time."

"The student has been doing wonderfully! She got a 100 on her PreCal unit circle quiz, and got the best grade she's had on a Physics test all year on her last Physics test over energy and work. Today we reviewed her workbook for her Physics test tomorrow on momentum and change in kinetic energy. We also spent half an hour on transformations of the sine and cosine function graphs. "

"Physics: Chapter 21 Magnetism, Chapter 22 Induction and Alternating Current: magnetic forces, circular paths, external magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, Lenz's Law, Faraday's Law, generators, motors, alternating current, mutual inductance, electromagnetic spectrum, photons."

"The student and I went through lesson 2 and most of lesson 3 of his statistics course. We conceptually went over some of the curves, sets, and equations for statistics, which makes them easier to digest. He is developing a firm grasp on the basic concepts covered today. Both of us learn best by using multimodal learning, and so we are trying to use many ways of learning and processing material to master these lessons. Specifically, we reviewed mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, z values, and p values. We went over populations and samples as well as probability and rejecting null hypothesis. He has decided that he will review what we learned this week, but doing all of the calculations for the problems and plotting the curves. We will meet again next Tuesday at 7:15 in another coffee shop (which seemed to be a great location today). "

"I looked over the story the student had written so far and helped her fix some grammar and spelling mistakes. Then, we went back to her storyboard cards. After we reviewed them, she was able to write the whole story. By the end of the session, the story was done. She is starting to get more comfortable writing without knowing "the right answer" (she told me today she likes math because it doesn't involve shades of gray like writing). She's still a little shy about putting words on paper so in the coming sessions we'll work on building her writer's confidence. "

"The student and I had another good review session today. We completed another math practice exam. The student needs to make sure to read questions completely, and I emphasized the importance of this to her. I also reminded her to use strategies she knows (e.g., drawing pictures) to solve some of the more difficult problems. I also reminded her to use process of elimination to help her. We also completed reading comprehension practice and auditory comprehension. We reviewed shapes, parts of speech, and also completed a "speedy". I hope her testing goes well! "

"Today was our first session following the spring break. We began by completing his geometry assignment (problems involving 3-D figures: using Euler's rule, find lengths using formulas, and graphing on a 3-D chart). To finish, we worked on his essay on The Red Badge of Courage. I had him print out the paper so that I can mark some edits this morning, prior to our next lesson."

"Today we went over the list of words and phrases from last week in an impromptu quiz. Then I introduced the personal pronouns chart and talked a little bit about how it works. The student copied it down, so now we can start making some sentences."
