"The student had a final draft due for her English class. We had already discussed her rough draft. She worked on her final draft."

"We reviewed homework problems in preparation for a quiz. We also discussed questions that he had recorded since our last session. We worked on perimeters of various shapes, volumes of cylinders, the relationship between radius and diameter of a circle and how it affects circumference and area."

"Today the student and I focused on the math portion in a general overview of common concepts that appear on the exam. He already seems to be very comfortable with the material! We sped through many of the easier problems, and even some of the harder ones weren't difficult for him. We took extra time to talk over some of the problems that have a trick to them or a little bit of strategy involved, but he picked up on those very quickly after I explained them. We decided next session to continue with math, but focus on the reading comprehension and writing section as well. I think we'll make a chart of useful Latin roots to know, and we'll cover some math concepts he wanted a refresher in. "

"The student is in his vacation week, but we wanted to keep rolling with our lessons so he stays sharp. We spent extra time on long division and by the end it was easy for him. We practiced our multiplication and division facts for his next quiz. Then we went over some difficult geometry and percent problems so he can see what those types of problems look like and also to see what ideas come intuitively for him. He did very well with both, understanding that a straight line and a triangle both contain the equivalent of two ninety degree angles. He was able to deduce other things from this, such as what type of geometric figures could be formed inside a set of transversals. I think it was helpful that he took the time to come in on his vacation, especially so we would not lose our progress on long division."

"The student and I reviewed geometry problems involving the topic of similar polygons. We also went over practice integrated algebra problems as practice for the upcoming integrated algebra state assessment. He was very receptive to the information that was given."

"We first went over calculus and worked through a problem set going over more applications of derivatives. Then we hit chemistry hard, going over naming of chemical compounds going from the IUPAC name to the chemical symbol and vice versa. We also reviewed energy equations in the form E=hv and E=R(1/n_f^2-1/n_i^2), etc. We just kept going over everything for her exam which covered a lot of different things from energy equations to naming to electron orbital theory."

"We covered a significant amount of material, convergence of sequences and series, Lagrange error, all of the strategies for attacking an integral except for partial fractions, and with each we were not so much focusing on how to solve problems, but more where the solutions to the problems, or rather the methods for solving them, came from. It seemed to help with his understanding a lot, and we will continue our work."

"The student prepared for her test on areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and squares. She also reviewed the sections covering the Pythagorean Theorem, square roots and squares of numbers. She has an excellent understanding of these concepts. She makes an occasional mistake when performing operations on numbers with decimals, so we practiced that as well. "

"The first student and I worked on a review of her school homework: subtraction with regrouping. She's doing better now that she has the matrix to use in breaking the numbers down. She's still showing the habits that we've focused on the last few weeks, so we'll continue to work with this concept. The second student and I read and completed a review of an assignment. We also had a long talk about using time efficiently. He is reading more fluently and had nearly no trouble with his assignment. The third student and I practiced her Spanish vocabulary a little bit and then worked on her addition and subtraction math facts (heavy on subtraction, because that's the most recent concept from school). All three kids did a good job!!"

"The student did SO well today! I was extremely proud of her. We focused on spelling/pronunciation, and she flourished with brand new 4-letter "a" words, as well as "i" words that she had been struggling with. We also went over simple "o" words that she impressed me with reading and spelling. We then played a game with this blob of goo she has. I had her split it up into different numbers of groups and count them for me so we could work on counting and addition. She did amazingly well with this exercise too. This was by far the most successful session we've had. "

"The student and I discussed probability and continued to work on percentages, fractions, and decimals. We reviewed concepts from yesterday, and extra practice along with homework was done during the session!"
