"The student and I continued to work through her 5th grade math concepts, which include applying PEMDAS (order of operations) appropriately, long division, and use of negative numbers. We went through her last test. I noticed that she had a little bit of difficulty when subtracting whole number/fraction combinations (for example 2 and 3/4 minus 5/8) and so we spent much of our session practicing and recognizing that whole numbers can be written as fractions too! This led to practice with turning fractions into division problems. She is more than capable of accomplishing the math, but had a little trouble understanding the rationale behind turning fractions into division equations. I presented fractions as a sort of word equation where the fraction line means "divided by." She liked this strategy and subsequently found translating fractions into division problems much easier. Additionally, we worked on problems that she encountered while reviewing for her assessment test. Currently, I am working to compile a list of practice problems for this exam which I will forward onto her and her parents this evening."

"I played math bowl with the student covering math fractions, mixed numbers, improper fractions, ratios, double digit multiplication, and long division. "

"We specifically covered graphing, a little bit of science concepts having to do with the changes in states of matter, and we wrapped up with some basic algebra concepts "solving for x." We ended up reviewing a lot of her old work. My strategies including taking problems apart piece by piece to see what they were asking for, and for algebraic equations, using her times tables, and working backwards. I left her with a few algebraic equations, but I will leave her with more this next session on Wednesday. There was a big win from the session in that she really got the hang of those basic algebraic equations, as mentioned before, and working backwards with her times tables. "

"We reviewed his first two tests to refresh all concepts. We also reviewed deriving integrals. We discussed what concavity means and discussed how to find it. The student is struggling less and less. There are just a few minor gaps in his knowledge, but we're filling them quickly. His attitude is more comfortable and more confident. I left him with additional practice problems to further solidify these concepts."

"The student I reviewed her assignment on proof of line segments and angles. She is easily understanding the concepts and doing very well on her tests and quizzes."

"We tried two practice sections: one verbal and one math. The student showed good math technique, but needed help with setting up several problems. We also worked on reading essays, and he showed an aptitude for diagramming arguments and discerning tone in less structured passages. He was advised on resources to help in his test preparation."

"Today, the student and I went over her most recent biology lectures on the digestive system. We went through the lecture slide by slide and I made sure to explain the concepts thoroughly and go over any questions she has on the material. She then needed help answering questions on a study for the class. She had some difficulty labeling a diagram of the organs involved in the digestive system, but understood how to answer the other questions well enough. "

"We met for what is likely the last time, as the student's final exam is tomorrow. It was mostly review as he has a pretty good grasp of all of the concepts. We also went over the different Excel commands and outputs from the regression models. He will do fine on his exam."

"We went over the additional combinations problems that I assigned the student and corrected the ones that he got wrong. In science, we discussed how stars are formed, their life cycles, parts of a star, etc. He had some trouble understanding this section. Particularly, I think he was struggling to understand the idea of energy going into the core of the star. We talked a lot about equilibrium and how the star's life cycle is dependent on the balance of energies. We spent a bit of time discussing that portion of the section."

"Student 1 and I reviewed all the letters that we have done so far to give the student continued practice with them. His handwriting is getting much better, and he can recognize his name when it's written on a paper. With Student 2, I continued to give him practice with digraphs and silent e. When it came time to read the novel, he continued to improve. There were very few words that I had to provide him with."

"The student and I covered logarithms. We delineated the general formula and how to determine an unknown base, argument, or answer (given two of the three parts). We also reviewed growth/decay, interest (compound and continuous), and half-life problems. He was able to pick up the material quickly and only needed a little bit of direction!"
