Recent La Habra Tutoring Session Notes

Tutoring review by Elizabeth in La Habra, CA
During this tutoring session, I helped the student prepare for an upcoming math test on fractions. We began by completing a "subtracting un-equivalent fractions" worksheet. The student breezed through this worksheet without any help and she got all the questions correct. Then we went over a four page review packet her teacher had sent home. She had to compare fractions and order a set of three fractions from least to greatest. At first, she could not remember how to do this. She did her best in ordering them, but she got about half incorrect. I helped her visualize the fractions by drawing them in circles and having her compare them. She was able to correct her mistakes, and the second time she got them all right. In another section she had to complete word problems which she completed correctly with minimal help. The last activity we looked at was her CML worksheet. She had to choose three word problems from each side of the page. She read through a couple of the word problems and found them a little difficult. I helped her through them by showing her that she could draw charts and pictures to figure out the answers and she might have to do a lot of trial and error until she got the correct numbers. It took a long time to complete this worksheet. Overall, she did well during this session but she still needs to review how to order fractions from least to greatest. I will submit three review quizzes on her website for more practice.

Tutoring review by Ronald in La Habra, CA
The student and I discussed his performance on his test. He felt confident about his overall performance and was able to answer all the questions to the best of his ability. Afterwards, we then reviewed his class project and prepared some questions to ask his teacher to ensure he has all the information necessary to complete the project.

Tutoring review by Devin in La Habra, CA
We first went over the logical reasoning questions that the student missed or struggled with from his most recent practice test. We identified that one issue he had been having is just reasoning through longer or complex arguments. As a strategy in response to that, he is planning to default to reading through those arguments twice to grasp them, and to focus just on understanding the conclusion if all of the details of the reasoning aren't clear to him. After that, we did a reading comp exercise where he answered the questions without reading the passage, which showed him that he should have confidence that he knows how to navigate answer types very well: in all cases, he could cut it down to 2 options (one of which was correct) without even reading the passage. He can now apply that intuitive sense and confidence to other reading passages.

Tutoring review by Jon in La Habra, CA
We worked on the student's advisory project, reading select passages from The Norton Reader and analyzing them using the rubric provided by his instructor. (Are they primarily 1) expository, 2) argumentative, 3) descriptive, or 4) narrative?) He has a new reading assignment for the term: two books, with a presentation to the class on a particular chapter or selection from the book. The books are "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston (his assignment will cover chapter 10), and "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" by William Kamkwamba (assignment not yet known).

Tutoring review by Colin in La Habra, CA
The main topics of this session were derivatives and integrals of inverse trig functions and of logarithms. I began by explaining that it is generally easier to re-derive inverse-trig functions on the spot using the Pythagorean triangle rather than memorizing them. After showing her this, the student seemed to get the hang of these types of problems. At the end of the session, we worked through some integrals that required some algebra tricks to solve.

Tutoring review by Kevin in La Habra, CA
The student and I went over review materials for his upcoming test. There is a lot of material to review, and he is able to do all of the tasks. He's got a great attitude and is going to practice more at home for our next session.

How can private tutoring with an accomplished tutor help you achieve your learning goals?

From assistance in elementary-level reading and writing to support in graduate-level math and science, private tutoring is an undeniably powerful educational tool. Tutors on the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform work with students of all ages, including adults, to improve their areas of weakness and to further develop their strengths. Perhaps you’d like to learn conversational French for an upcoming vacation, or your child has mastered simple fractions and is ready to work ahead in their math class. Or maybe your child is facing significant hurdles with reading comprehension and vocabulary. A tutor can help in all of these situations, as well as many others.

Multiple studies have shown that tutoring can lift average students to the top 2% (or 98th percentile) of their classes. Students who are currently high achievers can also benefit from improved grades and test scores. In fact, eight out of 10 students found that tutoring carried a measurable academic benefit, while 45 out of an examined 52 studies (nearly 90%) concluded that tutored students outperformed non-tutored students.

Tutoring is highly effective in part because tutors adapt their lessons to their students’ learning styles. Classroom lectures and textbook explanations can prove insufficient when a topic is unfamiliar or complex. To further complicate matters, teachers may have little time to provide additional support to their students. A tutor, on the other hand, works with you one-on-one via private tutoring or with a small group of students via Varsity Tutors’ live, online group courses (available in select subjects).

Tutors can accommodate visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learning styles, among others. They can also enrich their tutoring sessions with a wide variety of resources. These resources may include teacher-provided tools like assignment sheets and short readings, as well as supplementary tools like videos, manipulables, and graphics. The Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform also equips students and tutors with test prep books for key exams like the ACT, GRE, and SAT and thousands of practice problems. If your college-age student is struggling in organic chemistry, for instance, a tutor may help them review bonding with a series of labeled illustrations and carefully chosen practice problems. If you are trying to perfect your Spanish pronunciation, on the other hand, your tutor might utilize videos, live conversation, and audio recordings.

Because all tutoring sessions are personalized with your learning style and precise needs in mind, you can spend as little or as much time as you need on specific concepts and skills. In a traditional classroom or at a traditional tutoring center, this is next to impossible. A tutor can even help you identify the areas where you need to spend more or less time if you aren’t sure what they are. For example, while one student may need to spend several months refining their time management techniques for the ACT or SAT, another student may be able to perfect their strategies in a few hours.

Ultimately, every person learns differently—and while typical classrooms aren’t equipped to teach to each student individually, tutoring is.

How are tutors on the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform selected?

A great tutor can make even the most impossible of tasks seem possible. Achieving this end, however, involves more than just subject knowledge. An effective private tutor is also an excellent communicator. An effective private tutor likewise has a friendly demeanor that fosters confidence in your developing skills and content mastery. With Varsity Tutors, tutoring sessions are a positive and enriching environment to learn in, no matter your age or current abilities.

If you’re thinking, “All of that might be hard to find in tutors near me,” or if you’re simply dreading the search for a reputable tutor, rest assured that Varsity Tutors eliminates all of the hard work. Our comprehensive screening and qualification process ensures that you learn from an incredible tutor without having to conduct dozens of time-consuming interviews on your own.

Tutors on the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform hail from competitive colleges and universities, including America’s Ivy League institutions. All tutors must successfully pass a background check prior to meeting with students, and their academic credentials (such as any certifications, grades, and test scores) are carefully examined. Whether you’re in need of a tutor who can help your child improve their PSAT performance or you need help with compiling your graduate school applications, we verify that your instructor has the expertise necessary to help you shine.

In total, potential tutors complete six steps that determine whether or not they pass through our extensive vetting process. These steps are also designed to assess each prospective tutor’s ability to teach in a clear, engaging manner. Tutors are asked to provide a record of their prior teaching experience, and must demonstrate their aptitude via simulated lesson plans and mock tutoring sessions. This prevents frustrating scenarios in which a tutor is highly knowledgeable about a given subject, but unable to adequately convey that knowledge to their students (an experience that many of us have had at one time or another, and that can waste precious time).

The tutor profiles displayed above represent just a fraction of the tutors who are waiting to assist you with your learning goals. Varsity Tutors can help you identify the one tutor from this broad pool who is uniquely suited to your learning style and needs—all without additional effort or work on your part.

When is tutoring available?

One of the advantages of connecting with a tutor on the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform is the flexibility that it affords you and your family. Maybe you’d like to prepare for a professional certification like the SIE or Series 7 after work, or perhaps your child must balance school, extracurricular activities, familial commitments, and tutoring. Tutors can meet whenever you’re free, which can be a significant advantage when you have very little time to spare. Love to study on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening? Prefer to meet with your tutor on a Saturday or Sunday morning? Not a problem—Varsity Tutors will help you find a tutor who has the subject matter expertise and the availability that you need.

Tutors can meet with you online further increasing the flexibility of this powerful educational tool. With online tutoring, you can work with the very best tutor for you, even if they live in California and you live in New York. This is a great option if you live in a rural area or require a tutor with rare or highly specific qualifications. If you find yourself asking, “How will I possibly find the right tutors near me?” Varsity Tutors can help you do just that.

Online tutoring sessions take place in a secure environment via desktop or mobile devices like a smartphone or tablet. Our Live Learning Platform includes features like video chat, a whiteboard, integrated practice problems, and subject-specific tools such as a document editor and a periodic table. Students can also opt to replay sessions for increased recall and understanding of session concepts.

For on-demand needs, you can also choose Instant Tutoring. With Instant Tutoring, you can select a subject to receive assistance in, click a button on the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform, and connect with a live online tutor in as little as 15 seconds. Instant Tutoring is ideal for homework emergencies, language practice, or last-minute test prep, and is currently available in all K-12 academic subjects. This includes subjects like algebra, biology, essay editing, and history.

If you prefer face-to-face interactions, tutors like those above can also meet with you in person. Tutors come to you, eliminating the need to travel to an inconvenient tutoring center or to battle traffic in general. Private tutoring sessions can take place in your home or at a nearby location of your choosing. You might find that it’s easier to focus at your local coffee shop or library. If so, your tutor can meet you there. If your child would rather work from your kitchen or living room, their tutor can do that too.

Interested in a live, online group course instead of one-on-one tutoring? Still need to balance a packed day-to-day life? We understand. New small group courses in select subjects begin each month. A variety of times, such as evenings and weekends, are available to suit a range of scheduling needs.
