"The students and I spent the session getting to know each other, going over their homework and relevant practice problems. The first student and I were able to go through his math homework for the day. He is good at solving math problems, but sometimes doesn't write down his work. As I work with him more and get to know him better, I will push him to do a better job showing his work. The first student and I ended with some multiplication tables. I began timing him but he rushed and made some errors, so I encouraged him to take his time and look over his tables once he had completed them. I hope to continue to encourage him to do things like this. The second student and I worked on addition and subtraction problems. I encouraged him to go from right to left. We also worked with fractions. I think that more work on multiplication tables, arithmetic and fractions will be good for him. The third student did a good job on her homework. She had a good grasp of multiplying fractions. She wasn't as sure about comparing fractions with different denominators and finding common denominators, so we worked on that and she ended up seeming pretty confident by the end of the session. We also worked on multiplication tables. She seems to know them. She did well. "

"The student has an exam on Monday! We went through his exam review, then jumped to the first exam review. I gave the student a bunch of things to work on regarding basic fundamentals."

"Today we reviewed the student's homework from the previous session on algebraic expressions. Then we completed a lesson on exponents including equations that require creating common bases. I gave him practice problems for homework that will reinforce our exponent lesson. Lastly, we completed practice problems from an ACT exam. We completed about 30 problems. About half of these we completed in a timed fashion and it was clear that timing adds pressure on him and may impact his performance. Timing is something I will focus on in sessions going forward. Of note in this problem set, we reviewed the distance formula and writing equations of a circle."

"We continued the student's lab. We made graphs from an Excel datasheet, comparing the power of a jump to the power to climb stairs, and the distance of a horizontal jump to the distance of a vertical jump. We had to make some questionable approximations from the data we were given, but he is pretty capable and was able to follow what we did."

"We worked through a lot of different Calc concepts, specifically on implicit differentiation and linear approximation. The student did well with the practice. We went through the concepts slowly, and then she did some practice problems."

"The student practiced the imperfect tense by talking about what toys she played with as a child. This led to a discussion about children's toys and what is considered appropriate for them. For next session, we will learn about the passive and reflexive tenses and foods we will prepare for the holidays."

"The student was working on percents. She understood the basic concepts, but was mixing up percent increase/ decrease formulas. I told her to think about it as "percent you're paying" - for percent increase, you're paying more than 100% and percent decrease, less than 100%. This helped her understand when to subtract. We expanded the formula to find the percent increase/ decrease when the original and final prices were known. At the end of the session, she was beginning to mix up her percent formulas (basic vs. change of percent), and I encouraged her to stop and think before writing anything down. She should identify which type of question is being asked before she does computation. We'll work on that in our next session. "

"The student is taking an optional makeup quiz on the first half of Chapter 5, polynomial functions, so we went over the quiz review sheet. She is confident in her ability to factor polynomials, is learning finding roots, graphing, identifying parent functions, local minimums/maximums, and generating an equation given the roots. She also completed assigned homework problems on the areas mentioned above. She is not yet comfortable with absolute value and needs work with her inequalities and word problems. These are the subjects we will be covering at this Sunday's session. I provided her with a parent function chart, factoring equations tutorial, and calculator tutorials in electronic versions. We expect to continue two to three times a week, until she is caught up with the material, and then continue with a weekly session. "

"We covered algebra 3 concepts. The student is struggling with time. She knows the material; she just hasn't had the time to catch up with the class. She was very grateful with the material reviewed. We talked about using the formulas given, and how we apply the formulas into our math equations. I left her with the problem set we were working on. She will email me her answers and I will go over them to see if we have similar solutions. I believe that she is a very smart girl and she just needs someone to talk her through her work just to give her the confidence she needs to continue with her schooling."

"The student worked on lab report questions for a chemistry lab over finding temperature of a Bunsen burner flame using a calorimeter. She was not present for the lab so she just had the data from a classmate. We spent time discussing what the lab procedure had been and the underlying principles."

"The student made great progress with his paper with the time between sessions. We went over what he had written and focused on each sentence's clarity- he uses words that are too broad or not discussed previously so that the reader must guess as to what he is referring. Normally, you can figure it out, but it's better if each sentence is concise and clear. I think he has taken in a lot of what I've told him and there's no doubt he'll finish this paper strong."
