"The student had make up work to do. The student was working on comparing solids. Specifically, finding missing parameters when given a volume or surface area. "

"The student and I worked on her review packet for math class. We covered simplifying expressions, distributive property, and FOIL. She understands the rules underlying simplifying expressions. However, she made a few mistakes while combining like terms and carrying over exponents. We practiced more with additional handouts I brought. I also left some problems for her to do on her own before the test. "

"The student told me the good news: his last test grade brought his grade average up. He had a double-sided worksheet for homework, on which he had to fill out values in a table and graph functions. There were two functions for the comparison, one was linear, and the other was exponential. After the homework, he completed a worksheet on simplifying radicals, which I brought for him before. We also practiced more on simplifying expressions with negative exponents. Good job! Keep working hard! "

"The student is still making good progress in recognizing the need to plan and organize her classes to make sure she finishes everything. We focused on how to read for comprehension so she can remember details for quizzes (which seems to be her biggest issue at the moment), and I suggested she try to take notes, highlight, and compare the notes to online study guides. She assured me she has a handle on the work in all her other classes, and I believe she does, but I reminded her the key is to remain ahead of work, to stay on top of everything and avoid having to backtrack in any way."

"The student and I worked on review for her upcoming AP Biology semester final. She had done a thorough job of covering most of the material, so we were able to focus on what she felt least sure about, which was cellular respiration and biochemistry. We spent most of the session discussing the characteristics of the different types of macromolecules, with a special emphasis on level of protein structure and the emergent properties that each contributes to the protein. We went over cellular respiration, and I helped her key in on some salient aspects since there is a deluge of information about cellular respiration taught in the course. She worked through some sample problems skillfully. She reported that she got an "A" on both of her last tests, which is fantastic. I am confident in her ability to work through the complicated material required in the course."

"I love this kid; he's so good-natured and he has developed a very dry sense of humor. He finished his math take-home test and he did well. He has so many formulas stuffed in his head that sometimes I'll say "area of a circle" and he'll give me area of a triangle, but he then recognizes his error. We will continue to work on that. "

"The student worked on problems involving the laws of sines and cosines, figuring out which problems required the use of which law, and then applying the equations to find the missing information about the triangle. He also used the sine ratio to find the area of a triangle. "

"The student and I covered thermodynamics and equilibrium. She worked on some homework problems on these topics. These problems were mostly over Gibbs free energy and its relation to equilibrium. Also, we covered some electrochemistry. Here we worked some problems balancing redox equations. Her attitude is very positive. She seems in control and ready to work through the material. I did reinforce that especially when you are not totally confident of your abilities, you should always keep track of your units and ensure that they balance at the end of the problem."

"We worked on his chapter 8 review since he has a makeup test tomorrow. We found the sum using sigma notation, binomial equations using Pascal's triangle and finding partial sums with geometric and arithmetic sequences."

"With Student A, we covered a lot of practice problems on percent composition by mass with two different starting points- given the empirical formula and also trying to find the empirical formula from the percent composition. With Student B, we covered molar mass calculations, atoms (molecules) to grams, grams to atoms (molecules) conversions. The students worked really well and had a great attitude. Student B and I went through a conversion "roadmap" on solving those kinds of problems and the type of math that we need to do to solve them. We made sure to go through the whole scheme and what to do when we only need to do half. The students always have a great attitude and work ethic. "

"The student has identified a fascinating problem involving real world application of physics. Using the concepts of work, friction, drag, voltage, and power, we were able to estimate the mileage on one charge of an electrically-powered ZBoard and compare it to the manufacturer's specifications. We had to make several assumptions regarding the mass and surface area of the rider, the coefficient of friction, and the average velocity, but we obtained an answer that was fairly reasonable. He will try to contact the manufacturer to verify the details of their experimental test run, and we may discuss the problem further to ensure that our methods and assumptions were reasonable. "
