"This day we covered sections 6.5 and 6.6 graphing of the sine and tan functions. The student also completed a quiz and attempted a few questions of a pretest."

"We immediately started on math homework, the focus of which dealt with probability and fractions. He was actually very capable in this subject, a lot of the homework and past assignments seemed to have been overlooked due to a lack of interest, not lack of ability. He seemed eager to just complete a problem by fishing for answers, but when he slowed down, it came quite easily. I suggested some arithmetic shortcuts and multiplication tricks. We finally discussed his interests, and I hope to be able to find an outside field to which we can apply his current math study, likely sports or travel. Study skills, science, and some language arts will be other topics where help may be needed."

"The student is getting ready for a quiz tomorrow on some new material. We talked about functions, their graphs, domains, ranges, even/ oddness, and finding the above from formulas. The student has a reasonably good understanding. Mostly he needs to learn to review details."

"We reviewed the different types of angles, including alternate interior, alternate exterior, same side interior, and same side exterior. I demonstrated by drawing the letter z, both forwards and reverse. The angles formed at the corner were alternate interior angles. I suggested to the student that he look for the z shape when looking for alternate interior angles. We also covered the midpoint formula to find the midpoint between two points on a Cartesian plane. Averaging the x and y coordinates gave us the coordinates for the midpoint of a line segment. The student was eager to learn the material. "

"We have specifically gone over the sum/difference formulas, half-angle formulas, etc., and how to apply them to practice problems. The student was able to understand the directions, but has a difficult time utilizing the new tools he learned in reaching the goal of those directions. I gave him some experiences I learned when tackling these types of problems in order for him to improve his skills on effectively utilizing these formulas over time. Overall, the session was excellent."

"Today, we worked on triangles and solving vectors. The student maintained a positive attitude during the session. I included strategies for simplifying some questions. "

"I assisted the student as much as I could with feedback her professor had given her on work she completed on her prospectus and proposal. I helped her with understanding what information to include and how to manage the information she was sifting through. She has built confidence on tackling the project and is doing well. "

"Today, we covered the physics subject of rotational motion. Starting with centripetal acceleration, we connected speed of rotation with acceleration. We also calculated gravitational forces and acceleration of gravity in different circumstances. The student is very successfully solving these type problems on her own. Also, she is doing well on her calculus tests."

"The student completed a quiz that I had prepared on past and present tense verbs from the reading that we had done previously. She did really well. It was obvious that she had studied the words that I had asked her to study. We did some more reading in a book. I left her with more past and present verbs to study."

"The student and I continued working through his new coursework, largely comprising of reading through the assigned textbook chapters and answering assigned questions. He didn't have much trouble with most of the material. I answered mostly minor questions as he already had a good understanding of the material in the current chapter as we had already covered more of the course material than he needs to cover to complete the class while working through AP chemistry. The current chapter he finished today covered substances, elements, solutions, and mixtures, specifically the differences between them and the methods employed to separate them into individual components. "

"Today the student did not have any math homework to work on, so I did a comprehensive math review with him. We covered multiplying mixed fractions, rounding, and dividing fractions. With multiplying mixed numbers he has mastered converting proper fractions into improper fraction, however he sometimes struggles with going from improper to proper. I have a few more examples to help boost this skill. Lastly we worked on dividing fractions. I taught him division my multiplying the inverse. He was slowly able to pick up this technique. He is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to more of our sessions!"
