"The student worked on homework about sentences and pronouns. Then we practiced finding the volume and total volume of objects. Then he read a short story and answered reading comprehension questions. "

"The student and I covered trig problems. These included: unit circle, angles, values, radians, degrees, and inverse functions. We then calculated values by hand using sum and difference formulas. We also discussed how to simplify algebra expressions. She needs to work on memorizing trig values and all of the formulas."

"Today was our last session for the year, as the student has his Algebra final on Tuesday. He was provided with a final exam review packet and we went over each section. We covered finding the GCF, factoring by the GCF, factoring trinomials, factoring by grouping (which his class never did), distribution and FOIL, clearing radicals, simplifying radicals, solving quadratics, and the initial trig functions. Afterwards I chatted with him and his mom about tactics to use for the final--Slow Down and Focus. Duane knows all the material. "

"We focused on using the first derivative to find critical points and determine where the function is increasing or decreasing. We then worked on using the second derivative to find inflection points and determine where the function is concave up or concave down. We also looked at relative and absolute extrema and how to determine if a critical point is a maximum or a minimum. We also reviewed using the quotient rule to take the derivative of a function as well as what the derivative of the natural logarithm function is. The student is doing well taking derivatives of various functions and using them to find critical points, and she is doing better using the first and second derivatives to determine intervals of increase/decrease and concavity."

"The student's very last final of the year is for Sociology 101. Her grade has been between an A and B for the last month, but she still has yet to post some of the extra credit that she may possibly still get; if she does well on this exam, she could get an A. The exam covered 10 chapters of the textbook that had not been previously covered. We went through the PowerPoints and a majority of the chapters and created an extensive study guide. "

"The student did very well today! We covered integrals, notations, and key pointers related to integrals that are often seen on the AP Test, Riemann sums, and area under curves. He picked up the concepts very quickly. He was very patient with the material, which is very good! I will provide more information on Riemann sums and their limit process by tonight. For next time, it would be very helpful to provide me with some material ahead of time so I can prepare supplement problems. Otherwise, great work! "

"Today the student and I did 3 different math sections. We focused on the sections with the open response questions more specifically. A few of the topics we covered were how to do problems with series, complex triangle/ angle problems, and interpreting more complex tables. I feel good about his improvement in his math skills over the past couple of weeks. "

"We went over ratios again, similar to last session. The student has strong calculation skills. I gave him 2 problems to work at home. "

"Today the student continued working on his science lab/ project presentation on PowerPoint. This portion of the lab required creating a story and presenting his discovery of the unknown chemical with tables and justifications. "

"We went over finding extrema and finding limits. The student is strong in mathematics but was having trouble internalizing the concepts in calculus. Once I went into more detail on the specific concepts, he seemed to pick them up quickly, and he was solving the problems as I was typing them in some cases."

"Today we reviewed converting between decimals and percentages. The student is doing great and feeling confident about these now. We also reviewed rounding. He is doing quite a bit better. We also reviewed z-scores and inverted z-scores. With his newfound understanding of conversion and rounding, these are going much smoother and he feels mostly confident in these! "
