Brandon: Cambridge tutor
Certified Tutor in Cambridge, MA
As an instructor, I believe that mastery is best served when students can find their stride. A tutor, or any instructor for that matter, should not only clarify difficult concepts, but help encourage an interest in the subject studied overall. Finding the best way to develop that interest begins with determining how best to grapple with difficulties. In so doing, I hope to spur students to a larger, surer understanding of the subjects they study.

Session Summaries by Tutors
Today the student and I started our tutoring. I took a look at her score breakdown and decided to start with her lowest scoring area, math. We completed drills on the basics, some algebra and began studying basic geometry concepts. She did really well!
She should complete an ACT exam this weekend so we can go over the test and address trouble areas. After that I will create a plan of attack for the next month of tutoring.
I can't wait to get started! :)

The student and I reviewed last weeks quiz and worked on new section of material. He has good grasp on process of solving half and double angle trig functions, but I have still assigned him to study and memorize the formulas needed. He should have another quiz before we meet next Wednesday and his continued work to ensure he knows those formulas will determine his success.

Reviewed algebra packet. The student needed a little help setting up the equations and ratios, but then could work the problem out easily. Needs a little extra practice multiplying and dividing by decimals. Homework: complete packet. Vocab: melancholy, exasperated.

The student was not able to finish another practice exam by the time we met today, so we just went over practice problems in each section together. We spent most of the time in math, since that is the section that she needed the most work on. We went over probability, graphing, interpreting word problems, and angles.
