Award-Winning Private Pre-Calculus Tutoring in Lincoln Park, IL

"The student and I began work on the review section of the quadratics chapter. It had been awhile since we have worked on it, but she remembered the concepts well. We also did some extra practice with factoring trinomials."

"In this tutoring session we focused on the practice exam. We started with the second function graphing question. While we worked on this problem, The student asked several questions. These questions ended up covering all of the topics for the exam other than optimization problems and anti-derivatives. After we finished the function graphing problem, the student wanted to work on an anti-derivative problem before I left for the day. "

"The student and I worked on Order of Operations during today's session. We also went over the homework I gave her. In regards to the homework, she did well with it. At times, the student has a difficult time separating words from numbers. She has developed strategies over the years to combat this problem. The student will read the question or problem over and think about how to solve it over a period of time. When we were working on the order of operations problems, the student was able to complete 95% of the problems. Once the terms became numerous, she had a difficult time and her frustration level was being raised. We moved away from math and watched some science experiments on YouTube. The student enjoys science immensely so she was able to relax. For the next session, we will work on linear equations with one variable. "
