"Today in our session we went over a classwork assignment as well as a homework assignment. The main concepts we covered were the properties of squares and the properties of rhombi. Other concepts we reviewed were the use of the midpoint formula, angle measurements, and trig functions. The student had some difficulty figuring out a word problem so I created a similar problem to assess her understanding. Even though her numeracy is not proficient, she completes the problems quickly using her calculator once the correct method is established."

"Today was our last session; we covered a brief review of her social studies exam that she has tomorrow, and finished going over science topics for her science exam tomorrow. For science, we went over the complete study guide, ensuring that she knew every topic covered. In addition, we practiced naming ionic and covalent molecules as that will be highly covered on her exam tomorrow as well. The student is well prepared for this exam, and I believe she will do well; she also said that she feels very confident in the material."

"We worked on logarithmic problems to prepare the student for her upcoming quiz. Topics included expanding logarithmic expressions, and problems involving compound interest."

"The student and I reviewed for his first-quarter exam tonight. Overall, he had little trouble with the material on his study guide, the only significant struggle being fraction arithmetic. We spent some extra time going over the different rules for adding and subtracting fractions versus multiplying and dividing."

"The student and I worked on problems, this time focusing on writing and interpreting molecular formulas. There were no calculations, just lots of balancing electron dot structures and figuring out how atoms connect to each other. This is a very important fundamental concept for future chemistry topics, so I will spend a lot of time on this with him."

"The student has an exam coming up this week. To prepare, she printed out blank copies of all of her tests and quizzes provided by her teacher. We went through almost all of them focusing on the problems that she got wrong on the original tests. She is going to work through every question between now and our next session on Tuesday night and highlight the ones she has trouble with or questions about. On Tuesday, we will finish reviewing the tests and do more practice questions provided by the textbook. "

"The student and I completed his review packet for his math test. We went over simplifying equations with trig values, solving for double angles, solving for half angles, and plugging other identities and two equations to find solutions. We also did some proofs involving trig identities, including the Pythagorean identity, the double angle identity, the half angle identity, and the addition and subtraction identities."

"Today's session started with a review for the student's next quiz, and he did quite well. He should perform well on this quiz. We then turned our attention to his big assignment, the research paper. We looked at the possible topics and the paper requirements. We discussed the pros/cons of a topic that he is considering (stem cells), along with all of the possibilities they can be used for in medicine and other applications. He should make an easy A for this paper."

"We covered circle equations, chords, tangents, and finding the lengths and measurements of arcs and chords. There were some areas where the student felt very strong, and others where we both struggled a bit. We went through two pages of his review. It was slow progress, but he did have a deeper understanding of the material and how to not be tricked by problems. "

"Applications of the derivative, application of the integral, significance of each with respect to word problems. Concepts of linearization. She needs to do the work assigned to her to make sure her improvements stick beyond the sessions. She is making good progress during each session. "

"The student and I had a pretty good session. We focused mostly with subtraction, but we also did some addition and division as well. We did a timed subtraction worksheet, and though she did better than last week, I definitely think she can do even better in our coming weeks. I am looking forward to strengthening her subtraction skills even further!"
