"Today was the student and I's first session. I learned a bit about her classroom expectations and that she is preparing to take her Algebra assessment test in June. We worked on finding linear regression for data sets, and analyzing use the sum of r-squared values. She is very motivated and understands the underlying concepts of the work, but has a hard time memorizing key paths on the calculator, and makes input errors because of rushing. Speed is important in her classroom, so we talked about the importance of being efficient WITHOUT rushing through. This helps avoid mistakes that end up taking more time than if one is to go at a slightly slower pace and not make errors the first time around. We talked study skills and how to review before a test and made a plan for her to email me a couple days before our sessions to let me know if there is anything in particular she is struggling with. All in all, a great first session. I look forward to the next one."

"Definitions of geometric shapes and their volumes. We covered how the calculations of volumes follow a similar process of the area of unusual shapes. The student's attitude and work were excellent. "

"I very much enjoyed getting to meet the student and her mother. She is clearly a bright girl, and I am looking forward to continuing to work with her! We spent a few minutes at the start of the session discussing their goals for tutoring. We are going to do a Monday/Friday schedule, for now working on algebra on Friday and history on Monday, and playing it by ear if it seems like she needs more time spent on one subject over the other. She provided me with the her teachers' websites for the courses and had several math worksheets she needed to work on, plus a few past assignments that had already been graded. This was all very helpful to me, and we were able to jump right in to working on one of the math assignments, which covered solving systems of equations by graphing. She has a very good grasp on how to graph equations on a coordinate plane and was able to complete the worksheet with only a small amount of guidance from me. A couple times she swapped x and y when finding the slope or had slight confusion between positive and negative slope, but she often caught the mistake on her own before I had a chance to correct her. She was very pleasant to work with and extremely open to accepting help the few times she needed it. As previously mentioned, I look forward to continuing to work with her!"

"The student has improved her performance recently--she got a 93 and a 91 on two tests and brought her overall grade up to an 87. Today we reviewed the test for tomorrow. We reviewed about the measures of angles and arcs and their relationships in a circle. Like last time, the student managed to get most of the work done by herself, with very limited mistakes and she only needed a minimal amount of help. We then moved to the segments of a circle, and she showed good understanding on this subject. Overall, I would say that she improved a lot on the last two sessions. She was able to do math step-by-step and made very few errors. Great student. I wish her to succeed on the test tomorrow!"

"I did a assessment to cover intro algebra II skills. The student did well and understood basic concepts. He spent the majority of the time working through homework dealing with solving inequalities with absolute values in them. We also spent about 15 minutes going over some word problems and equation/ inequality writing. This is something that he could use extra practice with doing. This is a difficult skill (modeling real world issues algebraically) and I will bring some more problems next week."

"In this lesson, I had the student read the workbook out loud and work through the vocabulary with me so that I could give her the skills to break down the material and work through it on her own. We finished book 2, with the assignment that before our next meeting she would take the final quiz/practice test, take the real test in school, and then start lessons 1 and 2 in book 3. "

"The student has a test Wednesday that she was very stressed about. There had been a problem on a practice test at school that she didn't understand and was worried about it. I went through her textbook and pulled a few examples and created a few ones like the ones in the book. By the end of the session she said she felt more comfortable with the material. "

"The student's class covered the chain rule today, which is something I showed her previously. She was able to complete the homework with little help from me. Some of the more complicated problems had intricate algebraic steps, but other than that she understands the product, quotient, and chain rules. I'm sticking to the plan of reviewing each time while keeping her a bit ahead of the class at the same time, and I think it's working out."

"The student and I went over solving inequalities and equations as well as looking at word problems and writing equations from them. We looked ahead at material for her test in one week. I asked her to go over her multiplication and division facts to practice getting quicker at solving. "

"We spent most of the session going over the student's most recent math test. She earned an 80% on her test, which is an improvement from her last quiz grade. We discussed more study strategies to help prepare for the next test. In particular, she would likely benefit from practice questions and tests that are timed, because she tends to make more mistakes when she is anxious about finishing her test in time. We will incorporate these into our sessions."

"We covered simplification of complex fractions and radicals. We practiced inverse trig functions for the unit three retake and the test. I introduced the circle formula for the test. The student was very attentive and engaged, asking questions when necessary. We finished her homework over law of sines and cosines. She has extra practice problems from my previous e-mail and she should probably focus on inverse trig functions (but not law of sines and cosines) for the re-take on Tuesday. "

"SAT math Subtracting polynomials Student was focused on problem solving When a square root is multiplied by a number, squaring that expression means squaring both the square root and the number. I will provide more notes for the student to study from."
