"The student continued to work on solving polynomials, graphing parabolas, finding the vertex, axis of symmetry, the roots of a parabola with and without transformations. We also worked on word problems involving cost/ revenue/ profit and area maximization. She has not trouble understanding the material. The extent of her mistakes is small transpositional errors, leaving a negative sign behind. We will work more on that in future sessions."

"We did a review on circles. We answered almost 10 questions on one section about tangent lines on circles. There were problems that were unclear last Sunday that we were able to figure out. "

"We switched gears and focused on the Geometry portion of his final exam review packet. I showed him an easy way to write proportions when right triangles are inside other right triangles, which he learned very quickly and appreciated learning. He's getting better. "

"Today I was assigned a group of 3 young ladies. They were all very eager to learn and retained the info. They all needed help with quadratic functions. We talked about how to graph them, and how to predict what they would look like based on their equation. I noticed that the ladies all had a phobia of fractions and quickly wanted to use the calculators to change them to decimals. I will continue to help them release their fear of fractions. Two of them had issues with integers and knew the order of operations but forgot to apply. I will bring reinforcement exercises next session to help these concepts become second nature to them."

"The student did very well today! We went through three phonics worksheets and read "Merry Christmas, Amelia Bedelia" and discussed it afterwards. I am very happy with her progress. Next week, we're going to play a big phonics game to help her review what she has learned so far."

"I met with the student today from 9:30 to 11:30. We reviewed linear equations, including different ways to write linear equations, calculating slope, the y intercept, inverse functions, and compositions of functions. We went over a test he did last week, for which he got an 88%. We clarified all concepts and went over the 4 questions that were not answered correctly. Then, he retook three other tests and got 100% on every one of them. He can move forward."

"On 12/6, the student and I worked on the exam review sheet involving fill in the blanks and multiple choice questions on definitions of chemistry terms, identifying types of reactions (combustion, double replacement, single replacement, synthesis, decomposition, etc.), writing and balancing equations, and fraction coefficients. On 12/9, he and I finished the exam review sheet and another worksheet on identifying types of reactions, writing and balancing chemical equations, predicting the products, activity series of metals and halogens, solubility rules/identifying the precipitate, and writing molecular/ionic/net ionic equations. He did excellently on all parts of the review worksheets, especially identifying types of reactions and writing and balancing equations."

"The student is preparing for his exams in every course, and his main concerns are English and Chemistry. We reviewed the bulk of his study guide for Chemistry, including significant figures, historical figures who contributed to our chemistry science, electron configurations, the naming conventions, polyatomic ion recognition, valence matching for ions, and chemical nomenclature (suffixes, isotope vs. ion, etc.). He has a good knowledge of the subjects. Practicing these subjects with a third party seems to help him concentrate on and retain them. My strategy was to apply some practical aspects to move the subjects from the obscure to the real; for example, I identified dilute hydrochloric acid as muriatic acid to clean pools and acetic acid as vinegar on his salad. We will continue the process on Sunday."

"The student worked on refining our previous response-to-literature (The Force Awakens) with adding details, explanations for plot, character, Venn diagram comparisons, and theme. We used a few "I do's, we-do's" before making him an independent writer on these items, as well as the creative force behind each choice in scenes, characters, and key details. Great work!"

"We reviewed the multiple-choice questions that the student had completed prior to the session. While reviewing, we talked about test-taking strategies as well as things that she should look for when reading the questions. She will complete a Free-Response section in preparation for our next session to continue our review for the AP exam."

"We covered graphing exponential equations, specifically equations with x as the exponent. We went over domain and range as well as parent functions. The student seemed to have less of a base knowledge of some terms but we covered them and I believe they are clear now. For example, the origin is (0, 0) and the domain and range are all of the possible quantities of x and y, respectively. The student was very eager to learn and asked clarifying questions which leads me to believe that the student had a positive attitude toward the material. I included some tips and tricks, such as how to use money to understand certain fractions. I did not leave them with any extra practice other than to finish the homework that we were working on. "
