"Today we reviewed exponential functions and arithmetic and geometric sequences. We also began a state test review, looking through a previous exam and creating a list of topics to review in the coming weeks. The student has a set of exponential function problems to complete before Wednesday when we meet again. We will spend half the time on current classroom content and half the time on test review."

"The student and I went over free-response questions that will be on his AP statistics exam, covering the concepts of t-tests and probability. I gave him a few practice problems concerning the material, and he seemed to understand how to solve the problems once I explain the process. "

"During this session, we reviewed the student's homework covering ellipses, circles, and hyperbolas in preparation for his upcoming quiz. "

"The student finished her earth science and geometry homework. She began going over her earth science problem sheet and specifically reviewed the concepts of the latitude and longitude. Then she moved on to math. She learned how to find a midpoint and do partitions. While studying earth science, she struggled with the definition of longitude, but she has a firm grasp on the concept now. However, she is showing some signs of weakness on geometry. She gets mixed up by ratios and adding numbers with opposite signs (+/-). She is eager to apply the new knowledge to answer questions. During our session, she asked many questions and tried hard to engage in the lesson. In terms of study skills, I encouraged her to underline the numbers and include the units to accurately understand the question. She finished her homework for the day, but I will try to leave extra practice for homework next time. It was our first lesson together, and I am very pleased with her attitude. She is polite and showed great concentration when solving math problems. I look forward to working with her in the future and helping her do well in school."

"The student did really well yesterday as we reviewed for his upcoming chemistry test. We went over the topics of chemical properties/ changes, physical properties/ changes, molecules vs atoms vs compounds vs elements, reactions, and molecular modeling. He was amazingly focused as we had a lot to get through so we couldn't take any breaks. "

"I specifically covered finding derivatives using the product rule and the quotient rule. These derivatives also involved using trigonometric identities within the product and quotient rules. The student was struggling applying the chain rule learned previously in the class to the current concepts she's learning that require knowledge of the chain rule. I included several strategies in breaking apart the problem strategically so that she remembers to use the chain rule in the occasions that it is necessary. It was a good, first session to determine where to move forward in the future sessions. "

"Today we completed one of the student's worksheets and got about 3/4 of the way through another one. She was absent one day this week so we reviewed the material she missed and filled in some gaps in her understanding and knowledge. For some concepts, she had memorized formulas or equations but did not really understand the reason behind them, so I tried to help explain that as well, since I think having that understanding will help her a lot. Overall I think she seems like a very bright and capable student who struggles more with self confidence than anything else! I tried to encourage her to have the perspective of "I'm still learning this" to put a positive twist on her difficulties."

"The concepts we covered were finding the trigonometric functions of general angles and the law of sines. The student picked up theses new concepts very quickly. Her attitude towards the material was very positive, and she asked insightful questions, which was great!"

"The student was a very enthusiastic reader today! She read a joke book and requested only one coloring break (to improve the cover illustration). Granted, the joke book that she read today does not require the same kind of attention and narrative comprehension as an Elephant & Piggie book, or a Scooby Doo mystery, but in terms of total number of words read without complaint, this was a pretty packed session."

"We started the lesson by reviewing his SAT 5 sentences and touched upon the importance of context and learning to use words in the field they are used (e.g., "oligarchy" or "marsupial"). Otherwise, this is where I've seen the most improvement. Then we learned the 5 new words for the week, and I answered any questions he had about them in terms of context. Then I reviewed his answers for the last passage in the SAT practice test, which was actually two short passages on space mining from two similar sources. He didn't do so well answering the questions, so I took the time to carefully and thoroughly read the passage with him, discussing troublesome areas. For homework, I wanted him to redo the questions and review the unknown words in the passage. "

"We reviewed the set of the problems calculating probability of independent and dependent events. Next, we reviewed the set of the problems calculating the experimental and theoretical probabilities. We also used a scientific calculator to determine our outcome in experimental probabilities. Also, we compared experimental and theoretical probabilities. "
