"The student and I continued our work on sequences with the added element of radius of convergence for sums including variables. We clarified what it means to converge conditionally and we also went over tactics on how to decide which test will be most useful to determine convergence or divergence. Great work!"

"In this session, the student and I worked on reading and math. I gave him some drills to work on reading. Although he did very well in answering the questions correctly, he still needs to work to improve his speed by doing more practice reading problems with a timer and reading outside materials. We then worked through math together, and he seems to have a good grasp of most of the concepts on this section. I asked him to take a full practice test before next session."

"We continued to review mitosis and meiosis (in preparation for the exam on Monday). We discussed meiosis in depth and took a quick practice test to check for comprehension. The student was struggling with the differences between mitosis and meiosis. At the end of the session, I recorded her remaining questions and have sent the answers and an extra link in an email to help her prepare for her test. We discussed and practiced test-taking strategies during the practice test (marking questions that were challenging for later, checking work after answering all questions). I left the remaining practice test questions with her, and she has links to practice quizzes and computer games relating to the material. She only missed a couple of questions on the practice test (they were largely because of not reading the entire question or options for answers, which we discussed). She is very bright and learns very quickly! I very much enjoy being her tutor, she's a great student. "

"We covered how to find a missing root of an equation when one root is known. This also included how to find the root even if one of the constants in the equation is missing. I walked her through how you can use the definition of roots (which is (x-root1)(x-root2)=0), distributing out this equation, and your knowledge of the constants in the original equation to solve for the regular root. Her confidence was boosted after this and working out a couple of her homework problems together. She seemed to comprehend very well how to solve for the other constants and the missing root problems."

"We logged onto the student's school site and found all the lessons that he had missed. The majority of our session was spent going over a geometry worksheet. The worksheet dealt with radians, degrees, and properties of circles. He had a firm grasp on the material and understood how to do all the problems. "

"During this week's session, we continued test prep. The student was feeling comfortable with the AP test material, so we focused on practice IB tests. The only tricky questions were the ones that did not involve calculus. Probability and arithmetic sequences seem to be the most common non-calculus questions on that exam. We went over inclusion/exclusion in probability and how to find the inverse and determinant of matrices. The student responded well to this practice, though she wasn't that familiar with some of these concepts. In preparation for the IB test, I would recommend that she review as much basic probability as possible. "

"The student wanted to study for two upcoming tests this week - her math test will be on ellipses and hyperbolas (open note). I expect she will do great on this; she has been confident with the homework assignments and extra practice. We had a few challenging questions for her physics review that she will ask her teacher about tomorrow - other than that I think she has a good grasp of the key concepts that will be covered on the test, as well as how to use the equations. "

"Today, the student went over her reading. Her comprehension rate was strong at 95%. She will choose a book that excites her for use at our next session. She has been instructed to do more reading this week to return her focus to the task of increasing fluency and comprehension simultaneously. "
