"We went over geometric and arithmetic series and infinite geometric series. The student is doing pretty well in these, it's just a matter of taking the problems one step at a time and not rushing through the arithmetic. We also went over an quiz he took today and part of his homework. We worked on some strategies for identifying series and how to pick which equation to use in which situation."

"I helped the student prep for her finals next week. We have one more session to continue to prep her. I am sure she will do fine on the finals. "

"I went over the volume of solids of revolution with the student, going over the disk, washer, and shell methods. I worked several problems with him, and he has a good understanding of how to work these problems."

"Today we covered the remaining topics in functions, including when a relation is a function and when two functions are equal. The students have performed well on this week's quiz and are eagerly contributing in the lessons. The other main emphasis today was to understand the meaning of the function, and what "plugging a value in" means. We have distinguished between the argument, the input, the output, the recipe, the name, the range and the domain of the function."

"This was our first session. The student and I talked about the sequence of tenses, reviewed that Latin syntax is based on endings and not word order, and discussed the function of different pronouns (with an example from the Daphne and Apollo story). I also pointed out that pronouns follow some patterns that normal nouns do in their endings, and have some of their own unique patterns. He has since organized his Latin material into an accordion file. He was very enthusiastic and receptive to everything I said - he told me that just seeing me read through a Latin passage reignited his interest in the language."

"Because the student missed some school this week, we went over a lesson he missed. We discussed how to combine and expand logarithms. We also discussed what a logarithm is. He had some trouble applying the rules, but was improving by the end of the session. "

"In the previous session, we continued into the more advanced trigonometric identities and used previously learned formulas to both solve equations and prove even more identities like the double angle formulas. We spent the most time on solving equations of the form asin(x)+bcos(x) = c by using the sum and difference formulas for sin. This technique uses newly learned identities in a way that doesn't seem intuitive. We finished by looking over exercises from his homework in order to confirm his understanding of the new topics. "

"The student continues to improve with each session. Today we worked on the free-response format, with an emphasis on the pre-write brainstorming and outline. He understands that to facilitate speed and efficiency in the final writing, a good, strong outline is absolutely necessary. In addition, his handwriting has improved, and seems to come naturally now. "

"During this session we focused on graphing functions. We plotted zeros, used the first derivative to find maxima and minima, and the second derivative to find points of inflexion. In order to find derivatives we applied the chain rule, the product rule, and the quotient rule. I stressed to the student that he should memorize these rules and practice applying them."

"During this session, the student and I went over her review packets for her exam this Monday. I believe that she has a good sense of the questions that will be on her exam, and she has a general mastery of the material. I am confident that after her studying this weekend, she will be fully prepared for her exam."

"In this session, we covered the genetics lecture. The student demonstrated grasp of the majority of the major concepts, such as dominant/recessive, Punnett squares, etc.. She struggled with the terms, which we clarified in this session. We reviewed: homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype, allele, and monohybrid/dihybrid crosses. By the end of the session, she was successfully using these terms correctly without prompting and could describe the phenotype and genotype of the offspring without problems. We reviewed 2 worksheets on genetics and completed several practice problems with ease. Our next session will be next Wednesday."
