"Today we worked on finding lengths of secant and tangent segments of circles. We also worked on the difference when segment is within or goes out of circle. It was mostly algebra that he needed to solve. "

"This morning the student and I completed section 1.5 and 1.6 of the APEX geometry course. These sections dealt with basic postulates of geometry, as well as defining 0-D, 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D objects. After working through the lessons, he received 100% and 90% on the quizzes for the sections. I asked him to complete the remaining three sections in Chapter 1. We will then begin with chapter 2. I have discussed a plan with him for completion of the course and although it requires a high amount of work, I believe that he is ready for it. We have had three productive sessions and I hope to continue that going forward. "

"The student and I continued to work on fractions (specifically addition of fractions with unlike denominators). She did very well with this concept; by the end of the lesson, I had her come up with problems and "teach" me how to do them. I peppered her with many common questions and made myself quite a difficult student, but she didn't have trouble explaining the process of finding the least common denominator. What really holds her back is that she is very shaky on her basic math facts (multiplication and division especially). Next week, we will continue to work to get her math facts down. I will also aim to strengthen her conceptual ideas about fractions, not just the algorithms. "

"The student and I continued with ACT Science review, where I showed him some new techniques and approaches. His progress in both ACT Science and Reading is modest, likely due to the fact he has taken the ACT twice and done significant independent practice. Additionally, he already excels at time management and has achieved a high score on his own, making further improvement challenging. Nevertheless, I believe some of my tips will be invaluable, particularly in regards to looking at specifics on the Reading section. We then proceeded to cover the new ACT Writing design, on which we made significant progress although there is still a lot to teach. Next session, we will cover ACT English on which I am much more optimistic about being able to raise the student's score significantly. I am pleased to work with this student as he is very attentive and eager to learn and improve his ACT score."

"The student did practice problems on integral by parts after we did a quick recap on the exercise for finding the volume of solids using different methods. She did well after trying different types of problems involving integral by parts. I explained some tricks to help ease the problem solving process as we went through examples. "

"This was an introductory session. I worked for one hour with Student 1, one hour with Student 2 and 30 minutes with each of the boys. For each child, I assessed their knowledge of Spanish, including vocabulary, listening, and speaking. The children seem optimistic about learning Spanish and gave me their full attention during the session. Moving forward, now that I know each of the kids, I will be able to design activities for each child individually."

"The student and I went over a review packet for a quiz he had on algebra, which mainly focused on algebraic equations in exponents. We corrected mistakes he made in the packet, and worked on some of the key areas he's struggling with, such as using the distributive property, getting the signs right for positive or negative expressions, and addition and subtraction operations in equations. We finished the session by doing some extra work on multi-step equations from a worksheet I provided. He needs to focus on solving the problems in a methodical, step by step fashion. He's a great student to work with, and I hope he did well on his quiz!"

"The student and I read through 12 pages in "A Raisin in the Sun" and discussed important passages in the text. He worked on some of his study guide questions, and I helped to clarify the questions and point him in the right direction as needed."

"Today we covered most chapters that will be tested on tomorrow's final: conservation of momentum, momentum and impulse, mechanical energy conservation, and forces and Newton's law in two dimensions. In particular, we solved a problem with the Atwood machine involving two weights, one hanging, and the other sliding with kinetic friction on an incline. The student is well prepared and confident in his ability to do well on the tomorrow's test."

"Today, the student and I went over polynomial classifications and operations. He absolutely rocked this material. He did struggle with recalling some of the classifications, but this can easily be fixed with memorizing the definitions. He has shown a lot of improvement with taking the negative signs into account. I look forward to seeing his quiz results. "

"We covered the slope intercept form and how to find x-intercepts and y-intercepts using graphs and equations. The student needed help on how to integrate the equation from the graph and how to plug the numbers into the equation. After a couple of practice problems, he got the hang of it and was a pro by the end. We even started to cover the material for next week (point intercept formula)!"
