"The student is retaking a test tomorrow, so we went over the problems that she got wrong on the test. We really focused on problems where she had to solve for a variable with a fraction involved. I gave her several practice problems in addition to the test problems. She understands how to find equivalent fractions before addition or subtraction can be done. We also worked a little bit on word problems where she has to create the problem with the variable and then solve it. "

"The student is having a tough time with translating word problems into expressions. I tried to teach him different strategies that will help him understand the question being asked and help him analyze the given information. We worked through many problems but towards the end decided that we would move on to a different concept and come back to word problems later. I quickly taught him the properties of exponents and how to simplify radical expressions. He was able to do these problems with ease. "

"The student was pleased to report that his overall grade in geometry is a 90%. He got a 24.5 out of 26 points on his last quiz. We are all so proud of him. I told him that having a 90% is probably the worst grade a kid can have, because one false move knocks him out of "A" range, so the pressure's on! Also, now that he is an A student, he can expect that I will get extra nitpicky about details that could cost him points. He still needs coaching on the logic required of geometry--not guessing, but being able to support his work with theorems, and not taking any short cuts. He also has benefited every time I make him re-read the section before doing his homework, but isn't convinced he really needs to do that. Yes, he really needs to do that. Overall, however, his knowledge of and his attitude toward geometry has greatly improved."

"Today, the student and I started joint-reading 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' while creating running vocabulary and CCR ("character-conflict-resolution") charts. I was impressed with his performance and work ethic. He also seems to be enjoying himself a lot. I like using the Harry Potter books with language students because they're accessible to many kids ranging from advanced 3rd graders to middle and high schoolers, and JK Rowling is a master at hooking reluctant readers. I think these qualities will make them especially suited for somebody like him."

"Today we reviewed the student's class notes discussing hormones involved in the female reproductive system and used diagrams to display the information. We then reviewed hormones involved in the male reproductive system (on a worksheet). We spent the majority of the session discussing the female menstrual cycle in detail including the ovarian and uterine cycle. We discussed the organs, hormones, and phases in these cycles. "

"The student and I reviewed a test she took last week today. She did well on the test and only made a mistake on one problem. We worked through that problem about two-way tables to ensure she understood the material. She is getting ready for a state exam, so we also reviewed a lot of material for that, mainly how to simplify exponential expressions and a little linear algebra. "

"The student and I spent about half our time on Chemistry and half on Pre-Calc. For Chemistry, we did some problems involving enthalpy in different types of reactions. The student definitely understands the calculations involved, but he needed a little clarification about what exactly the energy of a reaction represents. We also spent some time on different aspects of rational functions like asymptotes, zeroes, and end behavior. There's a lot to keep track of with these types of problems, but the student seems to have a good intuition about how to solve for critical points and graph these functions."

"Today the student and I worked on a review of a homework sheet that involved reducing fractions and determining ratios from larger sample sizes. She was struggling quite a bit at the beginning, so I went over the general principle of reducing fractions. I talked her through setting up the problems and she was able to figure out the common factors and do the division to compare her ratios. The student did say that she thought she was beginning to understand it better, but was still having some trouble. I picked out some online sets to help her practice identifying factors and simplifying fractions, since that was a major source of her difficulty. I wrote down a list of steps for her to follow as she did the problems, and watched her successfully do one by herself at the end of the session. She seemed very optimistic about continuing the rest.
