Award-Winning Private Statistics Tutoring in New York

"The student and I worked on point slope formula problems for the entirety of the session. We worked on how 2 points on a line relate to the slope of the line and what the equation of the line is telling us. How to find the equation of the line when given 2 points or when given a graph. He seems to struggle with conceptual work, and asking him questions seems to be the best way to tutor because it forces him to think about the problem. I recommend he work on more problems on the side in order to improve his computational problems. Tutoring will be focused on problems that review concepts next time."

"The student and I worked on preparing for her first algebra test tomorrow. She is still very strong when plugging in numbers for variables, but struggles somewhat when it comes to order, and we spent a great deal of time working on identifying when we work backwards to find an answer, and when we leave an answer alone. The student and I continued to work on converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers. At first, he was a bit confused by a strategy he used last time, but then picked up the pieces and was able to move quite quickly."

"The student and I worked on problems involving absolute values and their maximums. I showed her that a broader definition of "critical values" includes values of x where the derivative is undefined. This is because where there is a "kink" in a function, the function instantly goes from increasing to decreasing (or decreasing to increasing), which means there will be a local min or max, for instance."

"The student and I worked on quadratic equations and how to factor them with a front variable greater than one. We worked through the logic of how to solve them, and he seemed to understand. After a few examples, he worked on problems by himself and had minimal guidance. He seemed to understand well."
