Award-Winning Private Geometry Tutoring in Huntley, IL

"The student and I continued working on his area review packet. We went over the area of trapezoids, isosceles trapezoids, circles and sectors. "

"The student and I continued working through a review workbook. We covered topics such as converting decimals to fraction and vice versa, and the multiplication and division of those decimals and fractions."

"The student and I spent this session going over the first chapter in his geometry book. I went over concepts with him, had him do problems out loud, and then assigned him chapter summary problems for homework. We then turned our attention to his summer AP Gov work. After listening to him talk about his approach to the work thus far, it became clear that he was not retaining what he had read in a way that would allow him to answer the open-ended questions given at the end of every assignment. We went over the steps he could take to read actively (highlighting, making notes, reading over the questions first so he knows what he's looking for) and how to break down the questions into easily understood tasks (simplify the question, identify a task, write your answer in notes/ bullets, then answer the question). We went through one of the student's assignments verbally using these steps, and he was able to answer the questions much more efficiently than he had been. We wrapped up the session by mapping out a course for the rest of the summer that would allow him to get all his work done in a comfortable time frame. "
