"To prepare for a midweek exam (Unit 6B), he asked to do this Tuesday session. We first started by reviewing his Unit 6A exam and doing some of the corrections. For most of his mistakes, he knew what he did wrong, but for one of them, he demonstrated a weakness in his fundamental knowledge of functions. We addressed this which was beneficial as it came up again while we prepped for his unit test the next day. The other topics we covered during this session were the asymptotes of "e" problems, the properties of logarithms, what the change of base formula is, and how to solve logarithmic equations. He showed a great competency with most of the material for his test tomorrow, and I'm expecting him to do very well."

"The student and I worked on retelling of stories and details. This session was about teaching him the skills needed to remember certain details or main ideas. He was able to remember some of these skills during this session and showed some improvement in his recall of the story. He is still struggling to remember the majority of the key events or main ideas. He tends remember the last thing he read. Allowing him to use the pictures to aid him in remembering those main events in the story helped him greatly. He needs to make sure he is reading every night and practicing retelling the story to someone at home. We also discussed his math facts. He relies heavily of using models that slow his instant recall of facts down. I recommended that he practice his math facts using a math facts website. This site will improve his speed and instant recall of facts. "

"In today's session, the student and I began working through the review packet for his upcoming exam. Topics covered in this exam are graphing reference functions (linear, parabola, cubic, inverse, absolute value, etc.), using transformations to graph more complex functions based on reference functions, determining types of symmetry, and piecewise functions. "

"Today, we went over the student's chemistry exam and the mistakes she made. We also focused on the lab, and I had her answer the questions, which she did well in. I wanted to make sure she understood the questions and how to answer the questions correctly. Then, we reviewed her math homework on solving systems of equations. We did an extra credit assignment, and I showed her how to be creative in solving the problem. She understood how to do the problems."

"We kept working on the review packet going through proofs of similar triangles. We also talked about dilations and how to determine the scaling factor and the center of dilation. We worked on using the law of sine and cosine along with the Pythagorean theorem and the strict definition of sine and cosine to find different side lengths and angle measurements. Overall we covered a variety of subjects for reviewing for the exam."

"The student has a quiz coming up, so we worked through a review sheet on factoring, zero product property, and other recently covered material. He was very shaky with the factoring at first--tended to get exponents mixed up with coefficients--but was doing much better by the end of the session. He still could use more practice with factoring by grouping and pattern recognition. He was very attentive, and seemed to be learning a lot. He is going to check to make sure which day his quiz is and then schedule another session this week."

"First we covered a little bit about inductive and deductive reasoning involving adding numbers and patterns. The student is progressing very well on this. Afterwards we focused our attention on parallel, skew, and perpendicular lines. He understands the concepts, but sometimes he gets a little confused on exterior and interior angles. We will continue to work on that. "

"The student is a very sweet and friendly girl. She completed an activity filling in some missing letters and writing them in sequence order. We practiced phonetic sounds of the first 8 letters of the alphabet, and I began teaching her a new phonics song. I sent her mother a link to the song to practice. I also advised that she practice ABC's while pointing to the letters, label items in the house, and aim to read to her every day."

"Today, I reviewed the introduction to the student's paper. I advised him in ways that he could rearrange the sentences so they had a more logical flow. He came up with an excellent plan for completing the rest of what he needs to do to revise his paper. "

"The main concepts we covered were the Pythagorean trigonometric identities and even-odd trigonometric identities. Today was mainly a review session, as the student's exam is tomorrow. Also, the student told me that she received an A on her last exam, which was great to hear!"

"The student and I read through most of the climax of his book. I quizzed him on vocabulary lists he needs to learn for a test and on the content of the passages. The events in this chapter were mostly external story beats and less internal musings from the main character. He showed a good mastery of following all of this chapter's details. "
