"During this session we worked on vocabulary, reading, and writing. The student recently finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird and wrote a very good summary on it. We then worked on properly quoting techniques. We will continue with this next week."

"The student and I reviewed all of the tenses learned up until now - present, preterit, imperfect, future, present subjunctive, past subjunctive, conditional, present perfect, and past perfect. We also reviewed in a little more detail the construction of the imperative both in the affirmative and in the negative. She spoke about her past 2 weeks and had a chance to practice the present, preterit, and imperfect, plus a little bit of the present perfect. We covered around 30 new terms and phrases. She has asked me to provide her with online resources for her to get a better grasp of the growing universe of tenses that she is now cognizant and increasingly fluid in. I will provide her with those resources before our next session."

"The student completed a review activity and we read through Act 2 of "Hamlet." He was able to recall Act 1 very well, identify the characters and how they are related to Hamlet, and answer inference questions regarding the plot of "Hamlet." Well done!"

"The student and I worked through the tail end of her homework assignment for the day. The focus of the content area for the beginning of this new unit was similar triangles and related properties, although it also involved unit conversions (e.g., scaled drawings) and was somewhat heavy on algebra including systems of equations, simplifying expressions (e.g., combining like terms), and solving equations. The final problem was a bit complicated and, although we eventually came up with a reasonable answer, the first attempt resulted in a negative solution for the measure of an angle. I left her with our combined work for her to review. I will revisit that final problem and send her a detailed explanation as to why our first attempt at a solution failed."

"We talked about how to find the domain and range of functions, how to solve inequalities and put them into interval notation, and how to solve absolute value equations. The student was doing really well with it by the end of the session."

"It was so nice to see the student again! He was ready to work and did a great job. We did some reading and then some vocabulary. He made several new flashcards and was able to make connections as he worked through the word set about emotions and personality traits."

"The student and I spent most of our time reviewing exponent rules, radical rules, and rationalizing denominators. He and I worked on logarithms and exponents, and then worked through some elementary concepts in physics, regarding scalars, vectors, displacement (and distance), velocity (and speed), and acceleration."

"The student was starting a new section on derivatives today. He had problems with some the basic derivative rules including the power rule, logs and exponentials, and the chain rule. I reviewed an example in the homework and had him try a similar problem. I also made some lists of the rules involved as well as some steps to follow on problems that wanted the equation of the tangent line. I left some problems for him to try overnight before we meet again tomorrow."

"We covered main ideas of paragraphs (topic sentences) and supporting details. The student struggled most with writing his own details to support an argument. The student should read an essay example and look at how ideas connect between paragraphs. The student is unsure of his own answers and has trouble recalling personal experiences to connect to information and arguments that he learns during sessions. We will continue to work on this next session. The student has excellent attention skills and has a decent understanding of the need for details to tie into and support main ideas."

"We started by finding tangent lines to circles that went through a specific point when we knew the circle's formula. The student got how to find these lines really well. We discussed that when the line is straight up and down it is expressed as an x= rather than a y= function. I then gave him practice problems on a large variety of algebra-based topics to better see where he is currently at. One problem involved completing the square to find the x-intercepts in order to find the vertex of a parabola. The student was struggling with this problem, so we reviewed completing the square for the rest of the session. He gets how to solve the problem now."

"We went over two remaining quizzes for physics A, including significant figures, scientific notation, and circular motion. We reviewed that circular motion produces a centripetal acceleration, acceleration inward. This produces a "felt" force, centrifugal force outward, or a net force centripetal inward. She was also able to use intuition to reason the normal force felt at either the bottom of a circular loop or the top. She has learned a lot of physics through the tutoring sessions, and had been able to apply the knowledge of the concepts as well as the knowledge of how to work the problems not only to the quizzes and tests, but also to her independent work."
