Award-Winning Private Pre-Calculus Tutoring in Schenectady County, NY

"We continued with logarithmic and exponential functions. Specifically, we looked at the properties of both functions and used them to solve equations. The student understood the majority of the concepts except how to solve equations. I left him with a homework problem that requires him to solve one. I am pleased to see him use concepts learned weeks ago to work out problems. It's a sign that he has a better grasp on the material."

"We continued with the final exam review, again taking time to make sure the student understood the concepts that we had not previously gone through together. Drawing graphs, in particular, seems to be a point of discomfort. I went through some examples with him, showed him the tricks I use, and encouraged him to sketch out a few graphs on his own study time later today. We were able to get through the remaining part of the review dealing with material that we had not previously covered together. We will use our last session together tomorrow to make sure we solidify the concepts that are not entirely clear and finish preparing him for a strong showing on the final exam!"

"We continued with the questions from last lesson. This time, we switched to functions and did a lot with basic properties and operations. There were no major problems once the student got the notation down. There were a few matrix questions at the end, so we'll probably work on those in more depth in the next session."

"We continued working through double-angle and calculating trigonometric values without a calculator in preparation for an exam. I asked the student to use a sum-of-angles formula to calculate a double-angle value to illustrate that it can be done and gives equivalent values."
