"Today we started filling out a sheet of important formulas and identities the student needs to know for AP Calculus. As we went through them, I had her explain to me why they were true, and how they could be applied to different problems."

"We covered piecewise functions in pre-calc, including domain and other properties of such function, absolute value function as a piecewise function, and plotting and finding formula of those functions. In physics we talked about laws of motion, acceleration and gravity. "

"Today we covered two chapters in geometry, including logical structure, postulates, definitions, and theorems, and then went over several dozens of quick problems involving right angles, supplementarity, complementarity, probability related to geometry, and using paragraph proofs to prove theorems. The student is very quick in reasoning, and just needs a little support to cover different areas. He seems to be very well prepared for the upcoming test."

"We went over the material covered in class last week, which included conservation of momentum, elastic and inelastic momentum, impulse, etc. We reviewed the student's homework assignments that dealt with these topics, and he seemed to grasp the concepts. We will continue to go over the material in our next session. He was engaged and attentive during the session. "

"Today, the student and I covered the laws of exponents and the properties of radicals. She also worked through the homework assignment that was assigned to her. I also offered a challenge problem to the student to expand her understanding; we went through this problem step-by-step using critical thinking skills."

"The session today was getting back to the norm. We did blue and red patterns focusing on "ook" and "ood." With the 9 and 6 words of those basic pattern words written, we transitioned to math. The topic was greater/less than. First, the student completed 10 comparisons perfectly. Then, in a hurried fashion, he colored yellow the balloons that were less than 50. He chose the color green to color the balloon values over 50. "

"The student and I began the session by reviewing his homework, which involved using the percentage formula to solve problems. He grasped the concepts very well, but made a couple mistakes when he worked too quickly. He should mostly focus on word problems. Those sometimes throw him for a loop and he doesn't know where to start. I encouraged him to read the problem carefully and create a step-by-step process to getting the answer. We finished the session by doing some extra work on radicals, mainly on simplifying radicals. Once we had a little refresher course, he solved those problems with ease. "

"We continued to work through the test prep workbook that I suggested for the student. Today's concept was ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. He was able to go through higher-level thinking problems that applied the knowledge of positive ordered pairs. I expanded on this and showed him how negative numbers are graphed on a number line and coordinate grid. I see him asking more questions and being confident in his work. His mother is seeing more accurate work on his speed drills."

"Today we covered the reading state assessment test. We went over main idea, reading comprehension, vocabulary, purpose, support, theme, inference, and conflict. The student needed help with understanding the contents of the passages so we worked on that especially. He was positive towards the material that was reviewed. I gave him a lot of tips on test taking such as how to eliminate wrong answers, how to read the passages, how to answer questions, and how to check answers. I left him with the rest of the reading test and a math test to go over if he wished. "

"The student and I went over his persuasive essay that is due on Friday. We also completed his bibliography for it and made sure that all of his sources were credible. We also reviewed his grades and discussed his strengths and weaknesses and what he needs to do better on. Right now he is going to redo some of his assignments from his chemistry portfolio to receive additional points."

"Today we covered linear regression problems from her textbook. Statisticians don't normally do them by hand. Therefore, each problem is taking us a bit of time to figure out. "
