"The student and I prepared for a test involving integration by parts. The integration by parts went by smoothly, we practiced a handful of those problems. We went over the tic tac toe method (he called it something else), and I think he has a solid grasp on how to solve those."

"As the student did not have any homework for state testing week, we worked on strengthening his algebra skills. I wrote random problems involving "solving for x" using division, subtraction, addition, and multiplication. He had to find the answer without any help or prompting from me and did very well. He only missed one or two problems. He was trying very hard to get the right answers. He has learned a lot. Next time we will work on word problems."

"Today was my last session with the student . I had a lot of fun with her and I'll miss having our sessions. We reviewed her pre-calc homework, which involved figuring out writing equations for geometric sequences and figuring out how to use the sequence function on the calculator. We worked through all the problems together. She has improved greatly in her ability to solve challenging math problems on her own--she has been great at showing her work and catching minor calculation errors. She has been a pleasure to have as a student, and I wish her the best! "

"This afternoon, the student and I started off by reading three sections from a nonfiction book about storms. He then wrote on his reading log that he enjoyed the section about lightning because of the pictures. Next, he completed workbook pages related to suffixes (-ful, -less, and -ly). He enjoyed creating words with new meanings such as careful. Next, he worked on pages related to the five senses and seasons of the year. Finally, he read one of his favorite new books about FLY GUY. He did a great job working on each task. "

"Outside of quiz review, the primary concept in this session was linear programming. The student understood the concept, but seemed a little unsure on how to get the equations out of the word problem. Once we worked that through, she grasped the concept quite well. Next we worked on solving inequalities both by graphing and algebra. She has the rest of the quiz review to work on tonight, and the quiz tomorrow, so hopefully we will have news of progress in the next session."

"We worked on strategies for outlining history chapters to improve comprehension and retention. I showed her a method of viewing history as a narrative and looking for the "Who?" "What?" "Where?" "When?" and "Why?" of notable historical moments as a way to identify the important details that may appear later on a test. Our plan is to keep working on ways to get ahead of the study guide by reading and interacting with the material outside of class long before the guide comes out as a way to avoid having to cram a couple days before the exam. There was some improvement on the test last week (from a 40 to a 60), and I assured her we could make bigger strides now that we're working on a completely fresh unit. I feel that she will continue to see improvement if she follows our strategies."

"Continuing on the topic of integration, the student and I went over approximations to integrals (e.g. the Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson's Rule) and then moved on to the next section, which dealt with improper integrals (where we probably spent most of the session). We looked over several examples, and he chose one from the textbook to solve, which he was able to do."

"In this lesson, we covered the first part of lesson one from "English Vocabulary for Beginning ESL Learners" (family members, jobs) and lesson one from "English Grammar for ESL Learners" (singular, plural). For homework, I asked the student to draw a family tree, choose six occupations and write at least three sentences about each occupation, and complete exercise 1.3 in the grammar book."

"We covered solving word problems involving percents. The student will learn the material on Monday from her teacher, and because we studied it today, she will already know a little bit about it. So, this way, she will be ahead of the game, and she will have an easier time learning it next week. We also reviewed previous subjects to make sure she was understanding the older material."

"The student and I worked more on the math concepts that will be on her math state assessment test this week. This included finding a simple interest rate, interpreting tables, and finding the equation for a line with known points. She will continue working on her multiplication table flashcards between now and our next session."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student and I went over several worksheets on logs and exponential in preparation for an upcoming test. Specific concepts covered included using the 5 basic rules of logs to expand and contract logs to the same base, solving logarithmic equations by exponentiation, solving exponential equations by taking logs, utilizing the change of base formula in order to use the calculator for a decimal approximation of a log with a base other than 10 or e, solving radioactive decay, population growth, and Newton's temperature cooling equations for missing parameters, and writing equations to model word problems with exponential equations. "

"We made sure the student was doing his transformations homework problems correctly and moved on to learn locus theorems. We did several problems and will make sure he has fully grasped the topics next session. "
