"Volume and surface area of cones and pyramids were today's topics and we had a good session breaking things down and helping her to see what formulas needed to be applied where. She has gotten better in just the past week. Some of the problems she attempted before I got there were partially correct with no supervision or direction which means pieces are starting to stick. We just need to bring the whole picture into focus for surface are and volume of various types of geometric solids. She adds to and uses the formula cheat sheet we created, so that seems to be an effective tool for her so far."

"We covered calorimetry, enthalpy, and entropy. We did plenty of practice problems, and it seems like she understood very well. I hope she is able to retain the information, though. We have been covering a lot of information very quickly."

"The student and I reviewed for her quiz the next day. We went through her review packet and discussed any questions she had on it. We then went through each section in the book and worked extra problems like those on the review."

"We started by working on verbal reasoning. I brought test prep books and we went through several sections, practicing specific strategies which included mapping a passage, analyzing keywords, breaking down questions types and classic wrong answers and tackling questions via STPM method. We then practiced these strategies with several passages and spent between an 1 and 1.5 hours on the verbal reasoning section. We then focused on the Bio content the student felt the least comfortable with which included Embryonic Development, and the circulatory system. "

"Worked on math today. Covered numbers and operations and algebra. The student works well and did nicely on her homework. She has shown great improvement. Homework for this session: do practice test 1 math sections, again untimed. Next time I will assign a full timed practice test."

"We went over the concept of chemical equilibrium. In particular, we went over questions from a recent quiz which involved the application of equilibrium concentrations and constants to solve for a variety of unknowns."

"Continued to work on adding fractions. Session primarily focused on strategies to use to double check work and verify that all math is correct. Also reviewed greatest common factor and least common multiple related to working on reducing and adding fractions."

"Today we went over the idea of a tangent line and from there the derivative function. The teacher assigned a worksheet of graphs that required you to draw the derivative function based on sight. We went over several methods involving a pencil that the student might use to direct someone else to find tangent lines with nice slopes that would give the person points for the derivative function so that they could connect the dots to finish drawing it. "

"In this session, the student and I talked through some difficult concepts, including how to find the area of regular polygons and some of the hard graphing problems that appear on the ACT. She then completed some practice ACT problems, many of which were quite difficult, and she did really well! I noted that we need to spend more time talking about the properties of sine and cosine graphs, problems dealing with the unit circle, and problems that ask you to find the number of diagonals in a polygon. We also worked on science toward the end of the session. We will finish checking and talking about what she did at the beginning of next session."

"He and I began the session by brainstorming ideas for his Science project. He decided on growing vegetables organically versus using pesticides. We can up with an outline and he filled in the paper work needed to submit to his Science teacher for approval on the project. Next, we did a quick study review on states and capitals as he has a test on them this week. Lastly, we set goals for the week and discussed what we were going to do for the next session. Last session we worked on a current events assignment. He is going to work on it independently and we will review and edit it next session. Additionally, he is going to speak to his Language teacher about what the extra credit assignment involves. "

"My strategy with the student will be to break apart the test so that we're only working on one or two types of questions during each session. We're starting out by not working with time constraints, rather just going through the questions slowly to make sure she's approaching them with a good strategy. I had her talk through each question and her approach to answering it, and stepped in if she needed or wanted help. The section we worked on had a lot of questions involving vocab words she either didn't know or had a mistaken understanding of. She was a bit too eager to eliminate answers with these words. I emphasized the importance of only eliminating answers that are DEFINITELY wrong."
