Award-Winning Private Pre-Calculus Tutoring in New Mexico

"The student and I worked on addition and subtraction with scientific notation. She was struggling a bit because she was overgeneralizing, so I went over a couple examples to show why that doesn't work, even though it feels like it should. Once she matched the 10^n terms for both numbers, it was easy for her. As long as she practices so she remembers that trick, it should be fine. She and I also spent a little time going over experimental design."

"The student and I worked on anagrams, spot the difference puzzles, and a puzzle that incorporated trivia as well as mathematical operations. Overall, he did very well on the puzzles that tested attention to detail. He made a few mistakes with subtraction, but typically corrected himself shortly after. For the session in two weeks, I found some easier level crosswords we can possibly work on to help memory recall."

"The student and I worked on Business applications of calculus, including marginal costs, profits and revenues. He and I worked on his online homework assignment. He had some grasp of what he was doing, but had trouble understanding what the question was asking him to do. I explained what it was asking for, and it made more sense to him. He has an exam coming up. He wants to try to do the work for the remainder of the chapter on his own without a tutor. If he has any difficulty, he is going to email me so that we can schedule a session."
