Certified Tutors From North Central Texas College

We spent most of the time going over the student's math. The area/perimeter concepts are discussed in class, but the explanations are not contained in the booklet used for homework assignments. We worked on some extra problems that I created, and he seemed to get it by the end of the session.

The student is working on Chap 9: studying probability and making sample spaces. We reviewed the first sections of Chap 9--how to find the probability of single events, how to calculate complementary probabilities--they always add up to one, and how to make sample sets and use them to determine probable outcomes. We will work on reviewing his current work and past work in earlier chapters of the book to help him prepare for end of year tests.

Today the student and I worked on a practice biology test since she takes it on Tuesday. She was able to answer many of the questions correctly! Those she was unsure of we took apart and looked at each answer. We identified why each answer choice was correct or incorrect and then made a final decision. She said that she understood the underlying logic for these problems. We then went over an extensive study guide and when asked questions about the material, she was able to answer all but 2. Overall, I feel like she is very prepared for the test and just needs to ask herself why a certain answer choice may be incorrect before coming to a final decision.

The student was thrilled with his 87% on his last test. Today he worked on the irregular preterite tense.

The student and I went over subjects in physics: Newton's second law applications: free body diagrams, static and kinetic frictions, horizontal surfaces problems and tilted surfaces problems.

We continued to review a sample midterm and other review materials. The student is still working on applying theory and terminology to real economic examples. Her attitude is excellent.
