"The student and I covered exponent and log rules today. He said he gained a good confidence, and we will review next week after he takes the unit test."

"We reviewed for the student's upcoming test. The test covered the circle and its theorems. There were three main components to the test. The first component covered four theorems concerning angles inside and outside the circle made by chords, secants, and tangents. These angle measures could be determined by analyzing the circle's arcs that were inscribed by the chords, secants, and tangents. The second component would cover three theorems regarding line segments created by intersecting chords, secants, and tangents inside and outside the circle. The last component concerned representing circles within the Cartesian coordinate system. She was already comfortable with most of the information, so we spent most of the time doing practice problems or finding aspects of the information that she felt uncertain on. These topics mainly involved word problems where setting up the problem was a bit difficult. I highlighted telltale signs of certain problems to build her confidence. Once the problems were set up, she had no difficulties completing the problems. She should do very well on this test. "

"We discussed solving equations and inequalities involving exponents and logarithms, solving high-order equations using factoring and substitution, graphing functions and analyzing the graphs. We broke down the problems step by step and highlighted the key steps or the steps which students made most mistake on. She was thorough with solving logarithmic equations. She was not familiar with operations on exponents and factoring quadratics so we did several practices as illustration."

"We reviewed a homework set of problems covering the rules of exponents. The student definitely showed increasing proficiency throughout the lesson, and he said he felt good about the material when we were finished. He worked most of the problems independently with only a few corrections here and there."

"We reviewed the student's assignment on using proportions with scale drawings. She used the scale to determine either a distance on a drawing or the actual measurements. Then, we moved on to using similarity statements, and she was able to use the properties to determine perimeters and areas of polygons. Afterwards, we went to the online book to try the practice quiz questions. She seemed quite comfortable with the questions by the time we went to the online quiz questions."

"Today, we covered quadratic equations. We began with the definition of a quadratic equation and then talked about the standard form. Next, we talked about what it meant to solve a quadratic equation and showed graphically what this looked like. We practiced one method of factoring quadratic equations (product sum method) and applied it to various examples. We then talked about the distributive property and what it meant for two terms to be factors of a larger expression. I left the student with four equations with which to practice the techniques that we learned in the lesson."

"The student completed her seventh tutoring session aimed at alleviating her deficits in reading comprehension. During the session, she and I reviewed similes and metaphors. She subsequently brainstormed several similes and metaphors in order to complete her homework assignment. She also completed another assignment that required her to write a paragraph about her plans for spring break. Finally, she completed three fifth grade level reading comprehension worksheets. When asked about grades, she reported that her overall reading grade had improved and indicated that she currently has a B in the subject."

"The student is working on percent discount concepts at school. I created several multi-step challenge problems to help him apply what he has already mastered. He knows that he can calculate percentages three ways (on the basis of multiples of 10% and 1% as we practiced in our last session, by converting the percent to a decimal and multiplying the number by that decimal, or by applying proportional reasoning). He does very well with basic computations, but he sometimes gets "lost" in the process of solving multi-step problems and forgets to complete one or more steps. We will continue to work on this. He is very good at mental math--has learned how to take values apart so he can complete complex computations. He was polite and engaged throughout the session."

"I met with this student and his family today and it was an excellent visit. He is a very smart young man who wants to improve his fluency in English and prepare for the ISEE. We reviewed his ELA homework and went over the questions and discussion assignment. We reviewed regular and irregular verbs, past participles, and practiced writing/ using the forms. We also read a sample essay in the ISEE handout and worked on some vocabulary. He would like to enrich his vocabulary as there are words he doesn't grasp. We discussed his interests in reading more books, and I shared a top twenty reading list for his grade level. We agreed to read and discuss The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1), a Rick Riordan book, in the coming weeks. He was focused and eager to learn during our session and will review materials we covered with his dad. We will create a more structured learning schedule as we meet. Overall, this was a very positive experience. "

"This was the last meeting before the student's exam. We went over the PowerPoint notes from her prof as well as some exercises in SPSS. The focus was t -tests and ANOVA. In general, she is much better prepared than when we started, and is hopeful she can pass the exam. "

"We covered the first half of the bonding unit covering formal charge and resonance structures. I assigned homework for the student to go over some thermodynamics principles (namely Hess' Law and heats of formation), so we can review that tomorrow along with molecular orbital theory. "
