Recent Escondido Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I wrapped up our studies on math today. We went over geometry, coordinate geometry and various trig problems. We also corrected problems from her previous math test. I was impressed because she knew how to do problems she previously left blank. She's making good progress. I am going to be out of town Wednesday - Monday, but she has homework assignments. She is to take her first full-length practice exam. This should be timed at 3 hours. I will correct it at our next session. She can also practice more ACT math problems, which are located on ACT's Web site. If she prints them out (or writes them), she can tackle them and we can go over any issues at our next session.

Science: A bit of a rough patch today, but we talked about structure and what to do if you don't find an answer immediately. We still need to get some solid strategies for when we get stumped, but it's getting there. The student said that he practiced a reading test on his own over the course of the past week, and that he found it much easier than before we started practicing. We'll see how next week goes.

Reviewed sections 3.7, 4.1: factoring and solving quadratic equations. The student is basically relearning the material. Taught her that for all problems, have to find domain, range, zeros, x- & y-intercepts, and asymptotes. Figuring out what is being asked is the area in need of assistance. The student can do the math, but needs guidance.
