"The student started by completing his worksheet that he had started in class. It was already mostly completed, and he finished it quickly. After checking his answers, we moved on to his review sheets covering fractions and decimals. He managed to complete a page and a half. Then we moved to the computers upstairs, and did some practice with multiplying and dividing exponents. He was able to complete 20 questions in about as many minutes. With practice, he should be able to pick up his speed."

"We worked on material in the student's test review packet. Her next test with cover exponential growth and decay functions, recursive formula, and matrices. The student did well with a topics covered. She made algebraic errors a few times when solving for the unknown variable. We went through the correct steps to solve this equations. The student also did well writing the functional and recursive formula for geometric and arithmetic sequences. Again, I told her to slow down when solving the problems and to ask herself if the answer makes sense. "

"In this session ACT reading/ math/ writing/ science subjects were covered. For each subject, practice questions were answered by the student and tutor. In math, graphs, matrices, and logs were covered. In reading, strategies for answering passages were covered. In writing, grammar rules and practice questions were covered. The student was excited to learn new strategies and did well in the practice sessions. I left the student with a few links to review books and I will follow up in an email with videos on specific subjects. The student did not have a complete understanding of certain subject material (ex: chemistry and physics) so I recommended her to get a better understanding of the material before answering passages on those topics. Overall, she did a great job and with practice she will get significantly better. "

"This was our first session. We jumped right into reviewing some homework problems involving polynomial functions (factoring and simplifying). We also worked on simplifying rational functions. The student is missing some conceptual algebra knowledge, so every time she got stuck on approaching a problem, I'd take some time and review some properties, theorems, formulas, etc. so she can apply them to the problems. "

"The student's first 6 weeks is wrapping up so he just has one more test and two projects to complete. He is pretty prepared across the board and doesn't have a lot of any one thing to complete in order to finish everything on time. He is ending the first 6 weeks feeling pretty good, which will give him the confidence to head strongly into the second 6 weeks. "

"The student completed subject content and practice problems that focused on the basic trigonometric functions, congruency, triangle postulates, converting from parametric to rectangular coordinates, degrees to radian conversion, and unit circle calculations in preparation of upcoming test."

"Today we went over book problems on functions with asymptotes. We covered horizontal asymptotes, vertical asymptotes, zeros, function domain, and plotting. With time and a graphing calculator, I think the student can solve the even harder problems on exams. If graphing calculators are not allowed on the exams, or time is running low during an exam, she may need more practice plugging in "test points" to get a picture in her head of exactly how the function looks. She noted she received a 100% on the last exam. So I imagine the exam problems are not quite as hard as the book problems anyway. "

"We went over our goals for this year. The student and I reviewed for her math quiz on Friday. We also went over how we plan on working on studying for tests. We were able to talk about how she is going to take notes - recopying notes, writing what the teacher says, making flash cards, and handwriting notes versus using the iPad only."

"Today, the student and I went over and openly discussed what she did not understand about the domain, its purpose in equations, and its concept. We then went on to review problems in her worksheet that pertained to domains and equations. Afterwards, we went over her last exam/quiz and re-did the problems together to have her develop a habit of creating a mental list on what to look for in solving the equations, such as not dropping negatives or variables. Then, afterwards, we briefly went over any previous concepts she did not understand and even dove into topics that were beyond her class material, such as discussing ideas in physics and the application of her mathematics in physics. For the next session, I hope to be able to take more time in explaining the ideas behind her math and what she is learning in class."

"In this session, the student was preparing for a test he had to take. The topic was matrices. We went over the basics and then worked on the study guide. I explained what he didn't understand. By the end of the session, he seemed comfortable with the material and ready for the test. "

"The student was preparing to retake the test on trigonometry. We went over the problem set that included calculating exact value of different trig functions, their inverses, and combinations without a calculator. We also reviewed trig identities and used them to simplify expressions and used them to calculate exact values for trig functions. She has already built a good work habit and needed just some guidance and clarifying concepts using coordinate systems and triangles to help with solving trig expressions. "

"We worked through the even problems of 2-70 to review the chapter on solutions. The biggest benefit of my being there is that the student was able to use his study time very efficiently. As he worked through the problems I was able to follow any mistakes, teach the material and make sure he could do the problem efficiently. I was also able to bring material from previous chapters that he needed to review to adequately master the material in chapter 17. He is very sharp. "
