"The student completed his weekly packet of practice problems. I was happy to find that he had begun the packet and gotten every problem correct. Next we worked on problems from his geometry book to prepare for his final. He demonstrated that he could properly identify when to use the slope formula and use it correctly. He did the same with the distance formula. I was happy to see he could do this without help. He also has a strong understanding of two-dimensional shapes, which is very important. We will be reviewing for his final for our remaining sessions."

"We reviewed place value, and the student did great. He might have just been rusty from the summer. He is very well along into mastering concepts required for 5th grade, and we will continue to enhance and refine for deeper understanding. Our primary focus now is organization of his thoughts combined with showing his work and justifying his steps and thought process. He did alright today but we will continue practice in order to build good math habits."

"Today the student and I discussed the various types of word problems associated with quadratic functions. Problems covered topics such as interrelated perimeters and areas, maximizing revenue, projectile motion, and maximizing profit."

"I was excited to see that the student got a 94% on her last Algebra test. We went over what she missed, just to be thorough, and we realized that it was just a vocabulary issue (zeros of a function refer to the value when x=0). Then, we worked on inequalities. She understood most of the concepts, but we worked on how best to plug in values to make sure the inequality is correct. We had a little extra time left, so we looked over one of her old tests, the one that she got the lowest grade on. After having worked on linear functions last week and inequalities this week, she attempted some questions from that test on linear equations. The little tricks she learned to help her check her work helped a lot."

"The student and I worked on cursive writing, metric system conversion, and long division. His mom had identified these areas as desired topics. He seems to struggle with remembering how to do long division, so we spent 30 minutes practicing. I think next session, I will provide easier problems and let him practice the format so he knows the steps to take when dividing. His mom showed me grades / writing samples / notes from his teacher, and his teacher wants him to work on math and reading comprehension. He is willing to work on anything I provide and is always cooperative. He is slow to recall problem-solving solutions, so I'm going to work with him on establishing patterns in math through worksheets and timed quizzes. I will leave him some optional cursive / math work for the break."

"In our time today, we completed the student's algebra 2 homework. This lesson was all about quadratics, particularly graphing them. The first section was pretty simple for her, but the second required "completing the square" to change a quadratic in standard form to vertex form. This process was also not too difficult for her to comprehend, although it was new to her. For most of the problems, she was able to get through them with minimal mistakes."

"Today we restarted our conversation of French conjoining words. We began the topic before the Christmas break, so I began with a short review before going into the next phase. There are 5 different words the French use for the English 'that.' By going one by one, the student will develop a better understanding of when they have to be used. We finished our session with a cultural look into French Christmas traditions as we didn't meet during the break and I wanted her to understand better what the French do for this major holiday. Studying the grammar and vocabulary will only take you so far; understanding the culture will help bridge that gap to make you a better speaker."

"The student was doing problems related to work, energy, and energy conservation. She had some challenges setting up problems, but she was able to do good mathematical work once we had completed the setup. With some experience, I think she will get better at parsing problems herself. We will continue to work on this."

"Today, Student A and I went over multi-step linear equations and inequalities and determining triangle angles. He was able to recall our previous lesson on multi-step inequalities, and I was very proud of him. He initially had difficulty determining the triangle angles, but when I guided him through an example, he did the next question with ease. I think if he is willing, he will excel in math. Today, Student B and I went over median, mode, average and the state assessment test. He did very well with the state assessment questions. I also introduced him to a fun data set game, and he was enthused to complete it. He initially had trouble calculating the average, but after explaining the concept, he was able to do it on his own. He really showed the level of his capabilities today, and it makes me excited for the future. "

"The student and I continued working on factoring, as this is a very important concept and she still was missing some foundational understanding. We worked specifically on factoring by grouping, first factoring out common factors, the difference between two squares and when the leading coefficient is other than "1." We used the chapter review questions from her textbook. I also then showed her how to recognize which method to use in factoring. She had a clear handle on the concepts by the end of the session."
