Certified Tutors From Central Baptist College

The student is making excellent progress in being more self-motivated to do his work. The small blocks of time with breaks in between seem to be doing the trick. The next step will be helping him to be more self-sufficient in terms of seeking out answers to questions on his own, finding the definition of words he doesn't know, and learning how to solve specific kinds of problems rather than just guessing at answers.

This was our last session before the student's final, and I know from reports afterward that she felt pretty good about how she did. We covered Divergence Theorem, Stokes' Theorem, another Flux problem, etc. We spent almost as much time on review of stuff that had always seemed off to her as we did with the current material.

Today the student and I covered the sounds "th" and "sh," and high frequency and sight words. We also read 3 poems from the phonics book. I asked the student what she heard and saw since pictures accompany the poems. Besides vocabulary, I worked on pronunciation with her by having her repeat certain phrases and then very subtly correcting her. Finally, we sang the Itsy-Bitsy Spider and a days-of-the-week song. The next lesson will focus heavily on rhyming words.

The concepts covered were ratio analysis and statement of cash flows. The student struggles with a few formulas and statement layout. Some strategies were provided to the student throughout the session.

This week, the student and I continued our in-depth exploration of reflexive verbs and then focused on English to Spanish translations - combining the major concepts we have covered so far. Her progress is remarkable.

Today was our first meeting. We worked on Partial Fraction Decomposition. We learned it is important to check for the book's definition of a process. The big win of this session was getting comfortable with the many steps that go into decomposition of partial fractions.
