"We reviewed more types of integration strategies. These included more practice with partial fraction decomposition, trigonometric substitution, u-substitution, and integration by parts. We also went over the trigonometric identities and their use to Calculus."

"This time we were able to reviewed more of the student's ratio homework and she was really confident and happy to do the work. She feels ratios are much easier than other work she has dealt with. She also had a small win in class when the teacher was impressed with how she answered a question on ratios. Today we finished with ratios of length and time as well as simplifying fractions of larger scale. Taking breaks seems to be working well for her, as she needs to walk around and interact."

"We worked on imaginary numbers and reviewing factoring. The student has been able to remember the different ways of factoring. I think what has helped is her increased practice at home and a constant review during our sessions of the different ways to solve quadratics. We moved on to imaginary numbers, where she had some issues with previous concepts like factoring a radical. I have noticed more and more progress recently."

"Today, the student and I worked on algebra techniques, plugging in the answer choices, and mathematical modeling. She needed organizational structure to help her with timing. Then we worked on mathematical modeling and plugging in values to solve for x. She was very pleasant and engaged. We discussed some reading comprehension strategies and math shortcuts. "

"We worked on the student's writing skills by practicing with paired paragraph essay responses. We also worked on previous exam multiple choice questions. He did very well; we are working on identifying what organizational strategy works best for him when it comes to approaching written response questions. "

"We completed our final edit of the student's Emerson/ Whitman essay for submission tomorrow. Her vocabulary and usage skills continue to improve with each assignment. By using logical outlining, she was able to organize her thoughts effectively for this paper and her drafts were much stronger than previous efforts. "

"We covered data analysis, content, and writing of the Methods section of a research paper in APA style. The student needed help with how to turn research survey data into a written narrative that described the subjects of the study, their demographics, the materials used, and all the procedures done in determining the sample and the conducting the study. We analyzed the data together and she created an outline for the written section. She will now turn the outlined data into sentences and paragraphs, and we will meet again tomorrow to review and proofread it together. She reported that she found the session very helpful, and she now knows what to do."

"We covered proofs and identified each step of a proof by writing the proper definition, postulate or theorem that corresponded to each one. We also found angles using the information given about its vertical and adjacent angles, as well as our overall knowledge of postulates, definitions, etc. We skimmed over Venn diagrams and determined whether deductive reasoning/ proofs were invalid or not. She's doing well on her own and has a great understanding of algebra and geometry so far. I suggested taking a non-credit course at a community college to help her with the current material and for future math classes."

"Today we focused on division and word problems. Doing world problems has become a lot easier for the student, mainly identifying what kind of problem it is (multiplication, division, addition or subtraction) and when she focuses she can determine what steps she needs to take to get to the answer. We also did a review on multiplication, and I assigned her flashcards for 4*7, and 4*8 primarily, as those seem to be hardest for her to remember when she is timed. "

"The student completed a tutoring session aimed at improving her reading comprehension. During the session, she initially focused on her homework. First, she constructed a sentence using each of her vocabulary words. Next, she read and discussed two assigned articles from a Times for Kids magazine. She subsequently picked two poems to read in preparation for class and reviewed an essay she had written for school. Finally, she completed five reading comprehension worksheets that covered a mixture of fourth and fifth grade material. "

"I met with the student to complete a review of the student's math and spelling homework. I helped the student with using sounding out cues to accurately spell words, identifying keywords to create a picture, and matching number sentences to solve two math problems. Then I used dice and playing cards to practice addition and subtraction math problems with regrouping. We then used playing cards to generate a 3-digit number and to create a larger, equal, or lesser value. Mom showed me the student's report card and the student's grades have gone up. Mom also noticed the student is reading more fluently. "
