"We went over linear equations mind practiced for his test that coming week. We also worked on all the homework assignments he had not finished. "

"We covered graphing, transformations, adding fractions, time functions, simplifying expressions, solving expressions, asymptotes, domain and range, conics, absolute value. The student already had a practice review to complete, so we went over a few of the questions. Student practiced with some graphing and simplifying expression and was able to answer practice problems well. "

"She worked really hard on some Pythagorean theorem worksheets, and we were able to clarify which sides of the triangle went with which piece of the formula! She is a trooper."

"I listened to the student read two books, and we did two workbook pages. We talked about the 2 books, and she wrote a summary of one of the books for me. Next steps will be to keep working on the summaries of the books she reads."

"First, the student and I reviewed his spelling words for a quiz he will be taking Friday. I read him the words, and he wrote them on paper. He did not miss any of them (8/8). Next, we worked on his math. Today, we focused on writing numbers as tens and ones up to 20. He completed 20+ problems and had very little trouble on them."

"The student and I worked on changing units from a mixed number (minutes and seconds to just seconds, for example). Some word problems with fractions, decimals, percents, multiplying/ dividing and adding/ subtracting. The student's understanding of concepts and fluency with arithmetic is impressive and increasing and he brings a good attitude to the sessions."

"This was our first session, so I reviewed the test format with the student and got a sense of what level he is at. He seems to be good with math, so I will focus on reading and writing. We worked through some questions in each section and talked about both general strategies and specific strategies for each section."

"We went over the student's chemistry assignment on balancing equations. He understands the method for balancing equations, and he got more confident with it as we worked through problems. We then started a few questions on predicting the products of a reaction."

"The student and I reviewed her graphing packet that was given to her last week. I devised a 5-step system for her to follow when approaching her homework that she seemed to like, as she is able to follow these steps for every problem to ensure that she doesn't get lost. I suggested that she write the steps on a 3x5 index card to keep with her while she does her homework until she becomes more comfortable with it. I also suggested that using colored pencils to help her identify each piece she is graphing could be useful. She is a great student, and though the material is becoming slightly more technical, I don't feel that she is lacking any particular skills that will make it any harder for her. "

"The student is ahead of schedule on his AR book! In this session, we started with science review and went over food chains. Then, we worked on complex fractions and word problems. Afterwards, we went over grammar editing. "

"This session we discussed a bit of algebra first. We went over some listening resources that her teacher shared. She feels more confident with French, but as always, she needs to put in enough time with the reviews and practice questions. I feel she is on the right track. I encouraged her to spend more time with the listening sections that she can access through her school account."
