Recent Elmwood Park Tutoring Session Notes
We reviewed the trig functions, units circles and angle-side triangles for his quiz on Wednesday. He had a hard time understanding how angles, sides and sin/cosine functions related to each other, so I explained the concept to him using SOHCAHTOA and then did several practice problems. We then reviewed the difference between radians and degrees and how to convert between the two. We used the review to complete several trig and word problems from the practice test. We need to review the basic concepts together again, but overall it was a good session. With constant practice he should see improvement in his scores.

We went through her exam review. We solved several questions that she was struggling with them. I explained them to her and asked her to solve the similar problems. She understood them. We solved almost 20 questions. She is doing good.

During this session, we completed practice passages from the reading section. I asked the student to again focus on annotating keywords (such as those noting contrast) and to answer the questions in his own words prior to looking at the answer choices. His accuracy has seemed to improve when using these strategies. I asked him to complete 2 additional passages before our session this Sunday, or if he has time, to complete one of the full-length practice tests. The last half hour, we completed practice math questions. He seems like a strong math student, so I think with review and practice tests, he can do very well in this section.

Although I usually tutor the student for programming, today we reviewed for his math exam. We talked about functions, how to compose them and evaluate them, and how to find inverses. We solved quadratic equations by completing the square and also did some graphing of piecewise functions.

Today, the student and I covered angles, mixed number operations and ratios. She did a great job as always. She did struggle with finding all the angles of a triangle, but this is a relatively new lesson, and I'm sure that with the homework I assigned her, she will master this concept.
