"Today, we worked on the zero property and word problems. The student understood the topic very quickly and solved the questions on his own. I left the student with just one multi-step word problem to practice with, that he will do tonight. "

"The student had his textbook already, so we went through the main topics of the first chapter. There were the usual main definitions of geometric terms used commonly in geometry. There was also the midpoint and distance formulas. One section covered perimeter and area of basic geometric figures like circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. "

"The student has a module 6 test on Friday and a 9-weeks test next week. We worked on her Module 6 Assessment Readiness from her textbook. She got all of the questions correct, and is in great shape for her test on Friday. The 9-weeks test will be on modules 3-6, so she also completed the assessment readiness exercises for modules 3-5. This was a good refresher, and she recalled the majority of the material. We will continue to review next session."

"We reviewed for the student's algebra II test and used selected problems from her review worksheet. She was having difficulty understanding how to approach some problems, but understood how to solve them after assistance with problem setup. We reviewed strategies for the types of problems she will see on her test."

"Today, we went over problems in the student's review packet for his geometry final. We went over proofs, something he had the most difficulty with. We walked through the problems together, and I tried to show him patterns and similarities that exist in a lot of proofs. I now think he has a better way to approach these problems. We also went over some algebraic problems, which he had no problem completing. Overall, the session went well. He will let me know if he wants to meet again tomorrow to continue going over the review packet."

"I gave the student some strategies for the verbal portion of the SAT before we went through an SAT math section. He may also need to practice more algebra just to feel more comfortable with problem solving as well as to be more time efficient. I've been telling him algebraic shortcuts that he can do during the test (like multiplying whole equations with the value of the denominator). For the last 20 minutes, we did some quick SAT Writing exercises--subject-verb agreement, pronoun-antecedent, noun-noun errors, etc. It will be his first time taking the SAT tomorrow, so he'll have lots of time to improve if he's willing to put in more work. "

"We went over mitosis and meiosis. The student is not struggling in any part, but he focused on understanding the concept in more detail. The student has great attitude toward the reviewed material."

"The student and I had a good first session. We covered hypothesis testing, with an emphasis on how to state the null and alternate hypotheses in "statistics-speak," and then we did a couple of sample problems on how to perform a z-test."

"During our study session, we spent time reviewing some material that was presented in the student's previous lecture. We focused on topics concerning the cell (definition and its properties), thermodynamics, endergonic vs exergonic, and types of energy and chemical reactions that occur in the human body. By the end of the session, she seemed to have a better understanding of the majority of the concepts we discussed, but needed more help on thermodynamics, so I instructed her to spend more time going over this concept while she studied. We'll work on this again in our next session. "

"Today, the student and I went over her corrections for her geometry assignment as well as her previous geometry homework. She did well on the corrections and knew exactly what she had to do to fix her mistakes. On her homework, she was confusing the area and circumference of a circle, so I helped her to remember which one is which by giving her a hint (the units of the area are squared, so the formula for area has the square in it). Then, we went over an online practice quiz for geometry, which she scored a 98% on. During the last few minutes of the session, I quizzed her on the formulas for area and perimeter of a parallelogram, trapezoid, and triangle, as well as the area and circumference of a circle. I will bring more activities next week to solidify these concepts, since she will have to memorize the equations for her test. "

"We started going over polynomial functions. She read before I came, so she already knew how to evaluate functions for variables. Then, I explained to her how to evaluate functions for algebraic expressions and how to distinguish the two. We also studied graphs of polynomial functions. She was able to recognize patterns from observing end behaviors of the graph easily. She did some sample problems on graphs. We spent more time on analyzing graphs of polynomial functions given the function and estimating the turning points of the graph by creating a table of points. "
