Recent Delaware County Tutoring Session Notes
First meeting with the student. Topics covered were exponents, factoring, distributing, and polynomials via reviewing chapter quizzes given by the school.
For next time: The student has an assignment to complete the chapter review material we went over. I will then grade it and review any mistakes with him. Also need to cover Parabolic functions and the final review. If at all possible, it would be helpful if he brought his math textbook to future sessions so I can use the same methods as the teacher.

We focused on the science section today; we started with the student's impressions from the pre-test she took and then discussed how the real ACT science section is different from what most people expect; we talked through time saving strategies, what to focus on in the different types of passages, and tips for reading the tables and graphs; we practiced a few sections and talked about what she can practice on for our next session.

The student and I went over his questions about section 7.2 and 7.3 in the homework, as well as discussed some test-taking issues and strategies. His professor will not yet share the exam dates, the format of the exam, etc, but the exams make up 95% of his grade, and he needs to do well in this class to continue in his engineering program at school. We have not yet set a new date--he will contact me.
