"We reviewed the new homework assignment for the student's Spanish class and then I helped him prepare for the final exam. We went through flashcards and did verb conjugation practice. I proctored his final exam for the last part of the session so he could finish his online Spanish course. "

"In this session, the student practiced determining an equation based on information given in a word problem. We discussed how to determine if the problem is looking for a maximum or minimum value, and how to get that value from the derivative of the equation. We also discussed how domain boundaries can change the max and min values of a function. "

"We reviewed systems of equations and solving systems of equations by graphic, as well as through substitution and elimination. We also discussed turning word problems into systems of equations, solving them, and interpreting solutions. "

"Our session went very well. The student and I covered many topics, including logs and graphing polynomials functions. We covered other topics from her quiz tomorrow and the one from last week and she seemed to grasp all the concepts very quickly and well. We also handled shifts and asymptotes in functions and transformations. "

"The student and I wrapped up work on a final draft of his personal narrative today--it's come a very long way. We also started to shift our focus to physics work, which we will continue this week. As always, he was a pleasure to work with."

"I covered with the student a review packet because she had a test. The concepts covered were probabilities, permutations and combinations. "

"I introduced the AC method for factoring and solving quadratic equations. The student learned the method and demonstrated understanding by successfully completing medium level practice problems using this new method. She has a set of practice problems and will be practicing all methods that we have covered thus far."

"Today was our initial session. After family introductions, we went to a very comfortable study area that was quiet and free of distractions. After some discussion with the student about her educational history and goals for tutoring, we began by working on Math homework that she had partially completed on her own. Her parents want her to strengthen her math skills, and she agreed she needs additional support. The homework covered the concepts of place value with whole and decimal numbers. I think we made a strong start in today's session. She is clearly motivated to learn and improve. She diligently worked on the homework even though it was challenging. I look forward to building rapport with her to aid our tutoring/learning process."

"We covered domain of functions and composite functions for most of our time. We also went over what the student has been learning in general and her last test. She seemed very comfortable with the composite functions. She has review problems for her upcoming test, of which we did at least one problem from each section. She is going to work on the review a little bit more, based on what we did today, and bring any questions she has next session. "

"Today, we worked on polynomials again. This time, we worked on adding and subtracting complex polynomials. Then, we worked on solving geometry problems with polynomials. At first, she was unsure because the problems look really long, but once she got going, she did really well!"

"In writing, we corrected the student's homework essay and started on a new type of essay, giving information on a specific topic. Up until now we have written about choices, opinions, questions, and preferences. We also did some vocabulary activities, in particular working on word analogies. In reading, we read a page of the classic novel Frankenstein. The vocabulary and sentence structure was very difficult for him, so he requested that we start with the book Old Yeller. He will read that over spring break and write a book report."
