"Today the student and I prepped for his upcoming algebra Chapter test. We completed the chapter review test from the book and discussed test strategies. "

"We finished going through the math section from last time and started the science section on the same practice test because those are the sections she feels like she needs to work on the most before Saturday. We will keep going in that vein tomorrow."

"The student has an assignment due tomorrow night, and he wanted to work on the problems involved. We worked out issues related to null hypothesis significance testing and confidence intervals. We worked some problems by hand and then moved to SPSS to run others. One problem was best run in Excel. We spent quite a bit of time discussing the theoretical underpinnings of the problems since he is interested in developing a firm and thorough understanding of the different aspects of the work."

"Today we worked on review for the student's two-part final exam. Today's focus was on the free-response topic questions. She had a much better understanding of the content today than she did during our last session. She had a little difficulty comprehending the campaigning and hard money/ soft money topic, but that was just covered in class today for the first time. She currently has an 80% in the class. I've given her a checks and balances chart for review and am assigning her several assignments and quizzes. "

"The student and I went over test-taking strategies for the bulk of the session. We also focused on geometry concepts, as this is an area she struggles in. We will be meeting multiple times this week and she plans to take the PRAXIS exam in the near future."

"In this most recent session, I administered tests to both students in order to gauge understanding of the past three chapters of material. Both kids did decently well, and I believe that they are ready to move forward with new concepts. I had no issues with keeping them focused and engaged with their work. After they completed the exams, I graded them and we discussed the missed problems. "

"Today, we went over using tables to graph parabolas, as well as finding the vertex, y-intercept, and axis of symmetry. Once properly set up, the student was able to add, subtract, and multiply negatives accurately. She started off apprehensive in the subject, but with encouragement, she quickly grasped the order and routine. All that I can emphasize to improve these skills is for her to practice and build confidence. "

"The student is on indefinite integrals and trig substitutions. We started reviewing a few things about rational functions to help identify asymptotes and discontinuities. We used an alternative method for replacing terms in trig substitutions that she found easier to work with. We will likely meet again to help review for her tests. "

"The student will be taking the AP test in May. I had her complete a mock test so that I can assess where she is. Our first lesson today consisted of review of limits and continuity, and after checking her mock test, I will determine the number of sessions and length as well as the content that will need to be covered. "

"We continued discussing the student's oilfield brochure. She had the proper headings that she needed to include in her brochure, so we converted the paper format into her brochure format. She completed two of the three headings she needed. We outlined the third heading, so she will need to finish the last one on her own and insert pictures. She did a great job with her sentence structure and making the paragraphs sound fluent. I am sure she will receive a good grade on this project!"

"The student worked on revising an essay he wrote for his UN Committee class. He was to take a position regarding food security globally, but with a focus on Pakistan specifically. It only needed some minor organizational/grammar adjustments, and it ended up looking pretty good. He still needs to work on writing things down on his own before they sound perfect, but he seems to have been improving his writing. "
