"I helped him study for his midterm on Friday. He understand most of the problems, but we had to review how to set up and simplify logarithmic equations together. We also reviewed information about angles, solving terminal side word problems, and finding the correct trigonometric identities. He seemed to pick up on the review well but will need to continue to review the material in order to memorize all of the steps. He completed some practice problems on his own and was able to get the correct answers. Overall it was a good session."

"We worked on correcting work sent back from school that he did not receive a score of 100% on. We also discussed strategies to assist him with the timed multiplication tests."

"The student brought in his latest draft of his interpretive essay on "Snow" along with ideas of how he already wanted to rewrite it. He has been internalizing the lessons well and brought up past sessions, making connections in editing his current paper. We also did small units on transition words, active and passive phrasing, and editing for concise sentences."

"The student started the lesson by showing me her vocabulary test (107%!). We then worked on her math homework- adding and subtracting negative and positive numbers. She had finished most of the vocabulary homework prior to the lesson, so I checked it and we reviewed the couple of answers she had gotten incorrect. We finished with history, writing notes for first half of a chapter about the ancient Egyptians "

"The student had quite a bit of work this week because he had missed a couple days of school due to snow. He came in immediately and began to work. He made a comment about the amount, but not a single complaint. We worked on informal proofs of similarity. He does very well if missing one piece of information, but struggles a bit with multi step problems. He worked hard and improved. "

"The student had homework involving the concept of Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers. First, she had to fill in the >, >, or = sign to make the given statements true. As she worked independently on the first section, she showed signs of struggling. So, I worked together with her and reviewed the strategies. Next, she had to order the given set of numbers from least to greatest. This consisted of comparing fractions and decimals. She worked on these independently with some guidance. Her next homework sheet involved the concept of the coordinate plane and graph on the coordinate plane. She expressed that she had difficulty in comprehending this lesson. So I reviewed from the beginning of both lessons, first explaining the coordinate plane and its quadrants and then graphing points on the coordinate plane. After explaining and reviewing examples, we worked on a few problems together until she felt comfortable to work on her own and was able to complete the worksheet."

"This was a great student to work with. He came prepared to the session and seemed to care a lot about actually learning the information. We covered antiderivatives and, more specifically, finding the area under a curve and u-substitution. He struggled with determining what "u" is with u-substitution. I helped him with little tricks on how to determine what u is and how to check himself when doing so. I did provide practice problem for him, but did not leave him with any additional problems. I think that he will do great on his quiz if he continues to practice u-substitution problems."

"The student and I discussed an assignment that he has already missed because it was due the day he returned to school. He also showed me a new format to his history notes, and we both decided that these would need to be typed, not handwritten. He agreed to let his mom format the document because of how much needed to fit onto one page of notes. We worked on math for the rest of the session. He felt that he was doing well at first, but with some guidance found some faults in his approach. He was open to modifications to his approach and did very well teaching me and explaining the steps to the other problems. We also discussed scheduling."

"We split today's session between reviewing the student's Algebra 2 homework (they are still working on simplifying/solving equations with complex fractions) and working on the SAT practice problems she did over the past week."

"The student completed her homework for the week. She is working on blends, and she really seems to understand reading blends. She still mixes up some of the vowel sounds. I plan to continue to work on the short vowel sounds, as well as moving on to some long vowel sounds. "

"The student confidence and competence have never been better. This latest session, she really shined. She moved quickly through the problems we were working on once she understood what formulas to use. We covered all sorts of topics: circle arc lengths, area and length of circle arcs, apothems and areas of regular polygons, finding interior and exterior angles of polygons, law of sines, Pythagorean theorem, and a lot of older topics that build on each other. We went over ways to double check her work to make sure she didn't type something in wrong. I'm very proud of her growth. "
