Award-Winning Private Physiology Tutoring in Avondale, AZ

We met again last-minute for your test tomorrow covering equilibrium. Try to get a good night's sleep, and don't stress too much about the test. You definitely know more than you think you do. I'd suggest focusing on making sure you have clear, representative examples worked out for every type of problem you're likely to see, drawing on the practice question packet for examples. Having too much paper to flip through will be more of a hindrance than a help, so if you can avoid using your question packet/notes, I think that will help. Let me know if you need anything, and good luck!

The student is working on optics this week. We reviewed his online assignment. His attitude remained positive over the course of the session, and I think he came out with a pretty solid understanding of how to use the two primary optics equations to answer the sorts of questions he will see on his test.

The student and I prepared for the two biology tests she has this week. We reviewed information about the nervous and reproductive systems, and reviewed IB test questions to review these topics. Once again, I left her with some additional practice problems and answer keys for last-minute practice.

We spent this session preparing for the student's upcoming quiz -- discussing, drilling on, and coming up with memory devices for the characteristics of the six kingdoms: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

Student had practice problems from school that she wanted to go over. They covered the topics of solution chemistry, mole fraction, molarity, and molality. Student understands the concepts, but was struggling with how to set up problems, since these are more algebraic word problems in nature. After going through the problems student felt more confident with the material.

The student got a 92 on his most recent exam! We spent the session going through the problem set for Chapters 8, 9, and 10. We talked about restriction enzymes and how to design vectors. We also talked about sequencing techniques (using ddNTPs) as well as PCR.
