Recent Rancho Palos Verdes Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I completed her final exam review packet. By the time we were finished she understood the material; I stressed that she needs to continue studying on her own to solidify it in her mind before her test. If she does that, I am confident she will do well.

I helped the student review and prepare for her first Algebra II exam on 8/18/11. Topics discussed/reviewed included polynomial factoring, FOIL method, and polynomial expansion. We reviewed her notes from class and practiced primarily with her test review study sheets. The student was uncomfortable with the material at the start of the session but began to understand the material very as the session progressed. The student felt substantially more confident and comfortable at the conclusion of the session.

The student is taking chemistry this semester and she wanted someone to double check her work before she takes her exam tomorrow. She is doing very well in the class so far. The material was focusing on nomenclature and dimensional analysis.

We covered the chapters for solids, liquids, and gases. The student had a test the next day, so there was a lot of review of concepts - the properties of the different states of matter and the differences between them: structure, behavior, intrinsic qualities.

The student and I continued to review for the Chem SAT II. We briefly reviewed her assigned homework, and continued to the next chapter in the review book. We discussed inter and intramolecular bonding, and practiced Lewis structures and determining molecular geometries. The student's memory impresses me (she finished intro Chem over a year ago) but she is getting worried about timing -- relearning and reviewing -- before the exam. We decided that she should begin to practice questions from the practice tests in addition to working through the chapters. We will meet again on Thursday and come up with a more detailed and complete studying schedule.
