"The student is covering bearings and vectors in class. Once they are broken down to a direction and magnitude, they can be solved using the trig skills that she has already built. By the end of the session she seemed much more comfortable adding vectors. At the beginning of the session, the student's mom requested that we spend more time during our sessions focusing on theory. This is a great suggestion that I believe already had a positive impact on today's session. I will continue to work more theory into our future sessions."

"I begin each session with a short quiz on the operations on fractions. Although the calculator can be used to solve such problems, it is necessary for the student to learn without the calculator for when she is not able to use it. She took an algebra test multiple choice portion to continue prepping for the test. She left about 1/4 of the questions unanswered. "

"The student had a test on long division and multiplication. He said he received a 75. We are going to continue to practice these skills. "

"The student and I spent our last session working through a series of practice problems to prepare for his final that he would be taking directly after our session. Since we had reviewed the material previously, we were able to jump directly into an intensive drill exercise. I assigned him a series of questions from multiple sections at a time and we compared answers once he finished a set. We worked at a quick pace, and so we were able to review each and every section to be covered. Overall, he had a very solid understanding of all the material. There were a few specific problem types that I had to explain in more detail including operations involving scientific notation and solving for quadratics but once I reminded him of these techniques, he remembered how to apply them."

"The student and I went through more literal equations. He really struggles with equations, especially when there are multiple variables in the equation. I had him go through several examples slowly. When he seemed to have a handle on the literal equations, I introduced the concept of systems of equations. This was very difficult for him; he had a lot of trouble solving for one variable and then using that variable in the other equation. We went through the process together and I kept the example simple. Even though he was struggling, he put in a solid effort during our session. He wants to learn the concepts and be able to apply them. I have no doubt this will happen soon."

"We spent two hours on logic games. It was really great, and the student did really well. She just has to work on time-saving strategies and some of the trickier set-ups. Other than that, she's very accurate."

"The student worked on both reading and mathematics during our session today. In math we worked on adding doubles, and then we investigated what happened when we added one to those doubles to get her more familiar with some of her basic addition facts and to start building fluency. During our reading session, she and I read a book about Buster the She Dog together. The book was a little above her reading level, but the student did a good job of sounding out words that were within her reach. She continues to do a good job of picking up on words that are repetitive within a story and recognizing and reciting them more quickly as the story progresses. After the reading we discussed the story by me asking her a few higher order thinking questions, and then used the story to do some cause and effect analysis. We concluded today's session by going through sight word flashcards of high frequency words."

"I tutored Student 1 in the following concepts: converting fractions to decimals and percentages, exponents, factors, and prime numbers. I tutored Student 2 in the following subjects: scientific notation; negative exponent; and adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying fractions."

"What an exciting session! The student has finally learned how to really read at least 25 words. We used flashcards and he sounded out or instantly recognized the words. We finished a book we were working on. He practiced writing several of his new words successfully. I saw real progress tonight!"

"The student and I worked on simplifying mathematical expressions. We also worked on some triangle relationships, and she understood those and seems comfortable with the material. The biggest advice is to take her time; she is extremely capable and understands the larger concepts."

"This was a great lesson! The student is really staying on top of things and needs a lot less help than she used to, which is super encouraging. She was confused about limits, but that's normal. We will continue to work on this next session. She's still a bit unsure of the conceptual stuff but can do the problems just fine! There's a long time until her next exam, so we have lots of time to get solid so she'll finish strong!"
