Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"The first meeting with the student. He has a test coming up and he has a review sheet he has to complete before it. A lot of the topics were difficult to explain but the calculations are just a formula away. The difficulty comes from figuring out which formula to use. The topics were interest, compound interest, amortized loans and savings and a little bit of set theory at the end."

"Continued the student's Calc III webwork in preparation for his upcoming exam. Tonight's session was a continuation of line and path integrals, including some important discussions about how to link the different forms (especially between arbitrary dx+dy, F*dr, and the fundamental theorem) and switch between them. Also reviewed why the distinction between potential and gradient is important, how to identify conservative fields, and introduced flux and divergence. The student related that he was the only one in his class able to explain a concept when prompted, thanks to our previous studies."

"During this session, we worked through a new section in the student's book on probability. She finds these problems much more intuitive than trig identities, so we were able to get through a good number of problems. We will meet next week on Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm. "

"We went over more practice problems from a practice test to help her prepare for her final. She had a hard time working a lot of them on her own but after reviewing concepts, she did better. We talked about having her make flash cards to help her prep forger tests and remember concepts better. She said she's understanding everything in the chapter they're covering now. She said she would find out when the test is so we can be sure to prepare. "

"Went over trigonometric functions and properties (sin, cos tan, etc.). Went over unit grid to expand on trigonometric theories and identities. Will need further review in next sessions as there was a lot of material in one session."

"The student got a review of graphing rational functions. We covered everything in detail as far as what will be on his test. He didn't get a chance to practice in front of me. I'm hoping that he studies a bit over the weekend to keep himself refreshed. "

"We continued to work on multi-step problems, but today we focused on inequalities. The student's work today was a big improvement from previous sessions, as she got almost every question for her homework (30 questions) correct."

"I helped the student to cover materials for her test review. She was competent at remembering most of the relevant mathematical concepts related to circles, inscribed angles and trig functions. We reviewed several of the formulas she will need for her exam, and she will review the remaining formulas which we didn't get a chance to review--she learned these in recent lessons, but just needs to review them again for her upcoming test."

"We reviewed homework involving simplifying radical expressions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing them. Then we practiced solving equations involving rational expressions. We also discussed word problems that involved setting up equations with rational expressions. "

"The student worked on mixed fractions, which she said she had a little trouble with. She catches on quickly. After working through a couple problems together, she now has a good grasp of mixed fractions, solving 29 of 30 problems correctly."

"The student got a bad score on his most recent test. We reviewed the questions he missed. He understands the concepts however, because he is only able to see a small portion of the page at any given point in time, the mistakes he is making are primarily copying errors in the process of solving each problem. We brainstormed some ideas for him to overcome this. He took the test again and improved his grade significantly."
