"We went over chapter four today. We did a lot of practice of finding areas of parallelograms and triangles. I also left homework for the student to do for the week. "

"Today we worked on polynomial long division and end behavior of graphs. The student seemed to remember some of this from Algebra II, so it wasn't too difficult for her."

"We started by going over how to figure out how many solutions a quadratic will have by calculating the discriminant, then we went over finding the equation and y-intercept of a quadratic equation given its roots. Then we covered how the different coefficients a, b, and c affect the shape of a parabola, Then we did practice with finding the solutions to quadratic equations, and some factoring. "

"The student is preparing for his final exam in two weeks, and this session, I focused specifically on algebraic concepts that will help his foundation for geometric analysis. Algebra is difficult for him, and the more we work to alleviate this, the clearer concepts will become and the more efficient he will be. Again, I connected his practice and repetition in his music practices to the same for algebra. Practice definitely is necessary to become comfortable with the algebra. We also discussed geometric understanding of triangles, complementary angles, and area."

"Today we started reviewing for the student's physics final exam. She had a review packet of questions from each chapter and we began working through them from the beginning. We primarily worked through the older material from the beginning of the year including 1 dimensional motion, free body diagrams and forces. I primarily assisted her in setting up the equations specifically with the algebra and solving for the proper variable correctly when needed. Also, related to the forces and free body diagrams in setting up the diagrams correctly, using trigonometry to properly calculate force components, and finally in setting up the equations correctly in solving for net forces and/or acceleration or even coefficients of friction. She has the majority of the content understood, but will need to review further before her exam next week to master the content and make sure she can solve the problems independently."

"We again reviewed congruency and congruent triangles. This session, we focused primarily on defining parts of congruent triangles as they related to the triangles themselves. Her homework included proving why triangle parts were congruent, defining different aspects of congruency, and looking at turned congruent triangles to find their similar measurements. She then asked to review mean, median, mode, and range, for both her science and engineering classes. As we reviewed the terms and their definitions, I also constructed some problems to underscore what we were reviewing. It seemed difficult for her to differentiate mean from median, but she seemed to grasp mode and range very well. I told her that it might be a good idea for her to review mean and median more, and do some more problems. Her attitude was again very good."

"The student is currently learning about exponential functions, expressions, and equations. I reviewed with him with a few worksheets' worth of problems. When studying for his exam on Tuesday, he should pay particular attention to a few concepts: the graph of an exponential function and its behavior, solving exponential equations (when the variable is part of the exponent), and manipulating equations with terms raised to rational (non-integer) powers. With respect to the latter two, he should use the many problems we did not review on his worksheets for practice. "

"We had our first meeting yesterday. We started with the first chapter of one of the workbooks I brought, which the student liked and said she may buy. We started with a listening exercise, which I had her listen to twice without looking at the text to get a sense of her listening comprehension. She understood the basics of the scenario clearly, and then when we read through the dialogue together, she easily picked up the details. We continued through the rest of the exercises in that chapter and then listened to a news report on the recent train crash in Bavaria. We then read the corresponding article together. Her vocabulary is quite good, and she is skilled at gathering the general meaning of what she is reading or listening to, even if she doesn't know every word. "

"Today we covered area and circumference of circles, semicircles, and quarter circles. The student did an awesome job and was even able to reason through and correctly complete problems with finding the area of the shaded part within a square (with circle embedded). We worked through a grade level practice book and practiced problems."

"We reviewed some good habits for reading. I'm hoping that these good reading habits will eventually replace some of the student's current reading habits. He shows much improvement when he reads the whole selection carefully while highlighting key words and phrases. After the session, his mom and I discussed some possibilities for improving his grades on his vocabulary quizzes. "

"Today, we covered more geometry, specifically the names and angles of other polygons, areas of trapezoids and parallelograms, and the special cases of 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles. The student was very attentive and soaked in the material, quickly being able to understand it and put it into practice. As this is all new material to him, I had him take notes on all the names and new concepts, and I expect him to do well on his homework this weekend, reviewing all of the geometry concepts we covered this week.
