"Today the student and I reviewed the questions she had pertaining to solving quadratic equations and simplifying rational expressions. We also discussed picking up the pace with the skill builder assignments. As a result, this week she was assigned SB # 4 (odd problems) and # 5 (even problems). In a past session, she mentioned that she had been making small mistakes in regard to graphing linear equations. So, the second half of the session was dedicated to graphing linear equations using x-and y-intercepts as well as slope and y-intercept. We were able to go over this assignment and correct all of the mistakes. On the second assignment, she completed 4 similar problems without any issues. It is a pleasure to work with her as her attitude towards working is always positive and she is very proactive in asking questions about things she is unsure of."

"The student and I went over her math and science sections before both of her tests that she had on Tuesday. We made sure she knew the details thoroughly and had memorized the equations by doing a lot of practice problems. "

"The student and I are in the final sessions before her EOC. We discussed in depth specific test strategies and how to know when to use them, eliminating obvious wrong answers being the most frequent. She and I implemented these strategies as we worked through a selection of assessment exam Algebra problems assigned to her in class. She had a few questions about some areas that date back to the premier of the course, and we revisited those concepts, including writing equations to represent scenarios, and determining functional linear relationships between two variables when given a set of points. She always shares her concerns with me. She does not hesitate to let me know when something stumps her, and always maintains determination to master all she is given. "

"The student started partial quotient division in school, so we worked on that for most of the time before talking through her English assignment (concerning folktales). "

"Today, I helped the student with his homework assignment, which covered quadratic equations. He stated that he had not understood when his teacher went over the material in class, so I broke down the steps for finding the roots. He seemed to get in the hang of it after a while. During today's session, I could tell he was trying very hard to stay focused and positive. We ended up getting through all of his homework. "

"The student wanted to review some optimization problems for calculus. After some initial dialogue to determine where she is at with Calculus and what she is struggling with, we worked through two optimization problems. Since she said that she is particularly struggling with word problems, I helped her understand how optimization works on an abstract level and showed her some strategies and ways of thinking about the problems to help her figure them out. She was very cooperative and enthusiastic about the topic. She was engaged with the work and carefully thought about what we were working on. I suggested that she spend some time memorizing the calculus tables general equations so that she can be more fluent with working through the problems. Overall, she seems to be a very good student."

"I had an excellent last session with the student! We went over basic ACT strategies in the hour that we had left, and we talked about the Science Reasoning section of the test. I sent him screenshots out of my prep book, and he is planning on purchasing one to study over the next 2 weeks. He is really striving to do well, and I wish him the best of luck! I made him promise to email his scores so that I could celebrate his accomplishments with him, and he said that he would."

"Student A is now covering higher order polynomials and learning how to solve those via factoring. I helped him with a little bit on that and also prepared him for the science test on Wednesday. Overall he's doing well in science, but we will cover the study guide as he completes it tomorrow and go over any final areas he's having difficulty with. I helped Student B write a little writing piece for class tomorrow, and also with her fractions homework. She is having slight difficulty with fractions/ decimals/ percentages, but most of these problems just come from the verbiage more than the math, and we will work through that tomorrow and I think she'll understand it very well.

"We covered how to shift graphs by comparing to its parent function. The student did not struggle graphing the functions and was confident in working out the problems. I suggested she memorize the standard form of h and k to shift graphs with greater ease. This session went well and she looked pleased at the end of the session."

"I worked with both students on reading and making bar graphs. Both worked well and demonstrated good understanding. They had no trouble finishing the packet, and in explaining how the reached their answers."

"Today we finished up gases by talking about diffusion, effusion, and Graham's Law. Then we moved onto intermolecular attractions and liquids. The student really seems to be getting the concepts right now. She has a test next weekend, so we're going to meet once before then. Next time we will need to review Lewis dot structures again, especially how to translate 2D drawings of molecules into 3D molecules in order to analyze the properties of the molecule. "
