"Today we continued working on the computer in Unit 4 Lesson 6. The student added 3 mixed numbers in the context of a perimeter problem, including reducing fractions. He then did a multistep calculation to find a missing side length given the perimeter. He took the Lesson Checkpoint quiz and scored 100% on his own. Lesson practice was all about adding and subtracting mixed numbers. He showed excellent recall of steps needed to answer questions, and needed some support in the form of additional questions and suggested alternative methods. He struggled when borrowing from the whole number (30/30 = 1) and adding the borrowed amount to the existing fraction of thirtieths. However, he quickly picked up the skill and showed mastery in another situation. He took the Lesson 7 Skill Update and earned 100% on his own. This entailed knowing when it is appropriate to estimate, which calculation is best to answer a word problem, and metric measurement conversion. We reviewed area for rectangles and squares, how to multiply fractions and changing mixed numbers to improper fractions. He did the homework from yesterday and was left with another worksheet of multiplying fractions for extra practice. "

"The student is just starting his new semester, and beyond working on precalculus and a little bit of chemistry, we took time to set goals and a work plan for the next 4 months. He met every goal we set last semester, and I hope that a fresh semester and hence a fresh start will allow him to reach his higher goals this term. He also went on a couple of college visits last weekend, and he came back from them energized and motivated to improve his performance in school. I'm looking forward to helping him channel that drive and motivation into his work. Our next session is scheduled for 9:00am on Saturday morning. Looking forward to it!"

"We spent about half of our session today working on Spanish, and the other half on revising the intro paragraph for his English research paper. Today, we worked on relative pronouns. I wrote down the "rules" for him, which seemed to help with the remainder of his homework. As for English, the student's paragraph was strong, he just needed a more direct thesis statement, which we worked on. I also began to show him how to do MLA format and what online resources to reference for help moving forward. "

"This was the student's 15th geometry tutoring session. It went very well. He is learning about how to represent 3D figures using orthographic and isometric drawings. His assignment was quite challenging, but not surprisingly, he persisted through it. He initially had a difficult time picturing the way a given isometric drawing would look from the front, back, top, bottom, right, and left views, but picked up momentum as he chipped away at his assignment. Also, he had a tough time drawing isometric drawings on isometric paper given the isometric drawing at a different angle. But once he erased a few segments at specific locations, the moment came when he saw the picture he sketched and was very pleased with his drawing. The student eventually picked up the pace and was able to create isometric drawings with ease and accuracy. Again, getting to this point was no easy task, but he never gives up! It was awesome seeing him understand how to represent 3D drawings in different ways. Next time, we will dive into calculating volumes and surface areas, discovering how these can change as dimensions change. Excellent work Will!"

"Today, we reviewed vocabulary words extensively, read a few chapters from one of his summer reading books, and discussed some possible homework assignments for the summer. It was a good session."

"The student and I went over a unit review to prepare for her test this week. We addressed each type of problem to identify the areas that she needed help in. Specifically, we worked mostly on functions (even/odd, reflections, domain and range) as well as revisiting the unit circle and trigonometric functions. She will continue working throughout the week to practice for the test. "

"The student's mother left me a note to have him do all of his homework today so he finished half his math for the week, reviewed his spelling, and read for 20 minutes a book on the Wright Bros. He stumbled on a few words but his comprehension was good. We played 'teacher' with his spelling list, because he seems to learn quickly that way."

"We covered basic graphing and reviewed algebra from the student's previous quizzes. She had a great attitude, and we were able to accomplish a lot. The big takeaway from this session is her confidence in the subject matter. She is significantly stronger at Math."

"We went over the student's homework in Algebra. He is a lot more comfortable with the material and has shown that he can read problems well and remember how to solve concepts. It's quite encouraging how his attitude towards the material has changed since he did well on his last midterm. I am pleased to see that he can solve linear expressions graphically and also that he understands how linear functions work. He is also getting a lot faster at solving problems numerically."

"Tonight the student and I mainly worked on his English and Communication classes. We discussed thesis and purpose statements and developed them in response to various real life situations. We also looked up articles for him to use in an upcoming paper. We are starting on Chapter 4 math and he is preparing for finals. "

"The student is still very excited about reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which is great to see. We worked a lot on reading comprehension (which he does pretty well with) and vocabulary (which he needs some work on). The student's reading comprehension is pretty good, but he's missing out on context clues for vocabulary. I wrote down the words he did not know, and I intend to make a crossword puzzle and/or flashcards to help him learn new words. Overall he did a good job today. "
