"The student and I looked at trig problems involving determining the missing sides in right triangles. The student had no trouble with applying the trig formulas to solve these types of problems. We spent the rest of the session looking at the next topic, the law of sines. She seemed to be pretty interested in the topic. We talked about how it lets us determine missing sides or angles in any type of triangle, not just right triangles. We also saw how it provides the diameter of a circumscribed circle."

"The student's casual English conversation fluency has improved significantly! She is also beginning to use idioms in our conversations and trying to use them occasionally in her day to day life. In this session, we began moving away from casual English conversation skills to more formal and business related conversations. We practiced formal phone conversation skills and rehearsed phone conversations. She also practiced describing her job to me and we went through it slowly, writing down concise and specific details for her to practice. Finally, we prepared and practiced phrases she can use for upcoming meetings/ topics she will be addressing at work."

"This was the first session with the two students. This was a great time to get to know both and to assess their skills. One is a smart student who is often doing work in her head before producing it on paper. We worked on different middle school math concepts that are both above on and below grade level. She needs to work on showing more of her work in an organized manner, but she does have a quick thought process for simple math problems. The other is a determined student who knows that she must work hard and be fearless in order to achieve to her fullest potential. We worked with different writing prompts in order to give her tools to create a useful essay within a 25 minute window. Both students have great potential to acquire the skills necessary to score well above average. "

"The student was working on a pre-test over the subjects of momentum, impulse, and momentum conservation, as well as work, energy, and power. He was able to work with calculations quite well, but had the most trouble interpreting what was written in a question, and what was being asked for. We tried to work on some strategies for organizing such information, like writing down information in a list to the side of the main work of the problem. He seemed to have a pretty good handle on the main concepts."

"We discussed determining critical points, determining inflection points, finding intervals of increasing/ decreasing, and finding intervals of concavity. The student seems to struggle most with remembering to use the chain rule! She did well on the problems that we worked on. She was consistently getting the right answers, and solving the problems in a timely fashion. I mentioned a few ways to structure her work so that she might be able to more clearly see "the point" of a few specific types of problems. She told me that her previous test went very well, and that she only missed one thing."

"The student and I reviewed solving systems of equations using elimination and substitution. He struggled some with elimination if he needed to multiply one or both equations by a scale factor. We worked through several problems like this and by the end of the session he was able to do it independently. We also started to go over a quiz that he failed in December. We reviewed concepts and talked about eliminating answer choices that were clearly not correct."

"Today the student completed his factor analysis homework assignment. We conducted a principal component factor analysis using 9 items from his survey data. Screening procedures were performed to test for high loadings and items that fit factors well. Then we conducted a replication through random sampling to validate the results and a reliability analysis to further validate the findings. We will meet again on Monday to finish the project and create his ePoster."

"Today, the student and I reviewed finding the area of a trapezoid. This was similar to what we covered yesterday, and he excelled at it. We also read from a book he is reading at school titled "Rules." We read a chapter together and discussed the story and themes as well as the vocabulary. Finally, we began to compose a 4 stanza poem together for his poetry assignment. He did a great job brainstorming with me. It was an excellent session!"

"The student and I went over plugging in values for the input and output of a function. We also went over how to find slope and write an equation in slope-intercept form. We reviewed vertical intercepts, horizontal intercepts, and how to graph equations. "

"We covered many problems in preparation for the student's final. The concepts included 45-45-90 triangles, 30-60-90 triangles, trigonometry (soh, cah, toa problems), reflections, rotations, dilations, volumes and surface areas of solid shapes, and segment rules in circles. The student knows this material fairly well. Today his skills were made a little sharper. "

"Today, we reviewed acids/bases. We discussed calculating pH, pOH, and concentrations of H and OH. We talked about strong vs. weak bases and the reasons behind the difference in approaches. We then did a couple of examples solving strong acids, strong bases, weak acids, and weak bases. We then talked about Bronsted-Lowry definitions of acid and base and how to identify conjugate acids and bases. I gave the student a few examples of each and explained the difference between Bronsted-Lowry and Arrhenius definitions. "
