"We discussed the test corrections today. The student must commit time to memorizing his times tables and basic mathematics. I highly suggest flash cards just to reinforce material. "

"The student had many questions about irregular integrals. I discussed with her the many properties of L'Hopital's Rule and the importance of expressing the integral in terms of f(x) divided by g(x). I was also able to give her quite a bit of support on her homework."

"We worked on properties in f quadrilaterals. We covered topics such as identifying various quadrilaterals and find missing measurements including angles and sides."

"We worked on English passages three and four, just to keep up practice, though these are easy for the student. We then practiced science passages four through seven, focusing on the strategy of anticipating what questions will be asked while reading and examining graphics. We also discussed looking at patterns, definitions, and questions asking you to insert or extend a new data point and tell what its outcome would be. She found this helpful and was successful in all the questions, with occasional prompt. Great focus and effort today."

"The student's focus for today's class was to prepare for her math exam on Tuesday. She feels very uncomfortable with math in general so it was imperative that we go over the topics early on before it gets more complicated. Today's math class focused on the introduction to basic trigonometry. The basics are very important as they are the fundamental backbone for the upcoming concepts throughout the year. The lesson covered basic number properties with a little introduction to basic algebra. We were able to cover the study sheet that was provided for the student without much difficulty. Although the sheet involved concepts that were carried over from her previous year, the topics were a little hazy for her. Fortunately, we have time for one more session on Monday to further reinforce her understanding of the topics. "

"We reviewed sample design and process. The student understood the concept of a simple random survey but didn't know what stratified and clustered sampling were and what makes them unique. I gave her the definitions of strata and cluster and showed her how both could be used in sampling. I provided her with examples of both types of sampling so that she could identify and create either form regardless of the scenario. We finished the session going over AP exam questions to solidify everything she learned."

"The student and I went over his geometry homework, which was long this time. It focused on proving similar triangles through the 3 different postulates: ASA, SAS, and SSS. He was very focused and did very well. I am hoping he will do very well on his quiz on this topic. We also worked a little bit on his art homework. "

"The student learned point-slope formula today to find the equation of a line in y=mx+b form from any graph, point coordinate and m value, or pair of coordinates. This has been an important revelation for her and a much less confusing method than the method she relied on previously, where she always needed to know the y-intercept to solve for an equation. She's also been staying ahead of the game for homework, which has not only been helping her develop confidence for answering questions in math class, but it has given her more time to organize and complete her work in other classes as well."

"The student started the session by sharing about her writing prompt. She chose pizza over hamburgers and talked about why she liked pizza. We worked on adding three digit numbers and subtracting two digit numbers and then three digit numbers. She did well! She is using the correct math terms in our lesson. After math, we worked on reading comprehension. We both read silently the story about T and her friends. She was able to answer specific questions about T's friend, Epatha, and we talked about friendships. We were also introduced to Ms. Debbie, the ballet teacher. We discussed the colorful outfit that was described in the story. She will continue reading her story as well as practicing her math facts. She did a super job today!"

"The student and I discussed and analyzed one of his SAT essays. I helped him outline his thoughts, but before doing this, I taught him the foundational elements of an argument. This should help him to dissect authors' arguments in the future, no matter the style or purpose of writing. "

"Today, we learned about linear modeling. We did a few problems. Next, we went on to calculate relative frequencies on a table (row-wise and column-wise)."
