Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"This was my first session with this student. I did see two tests that he has recently taken to see which concepts he is struggling with. He worked on his math homework today, which included reviewing a lesson on comparison problems and problems involving elapsed time. We then worked on 30 practice problems, which is a cumulative review of all concepts he has learned this year. His basic facts for subtraction, addition, multiplication, and division are good. Two areas where he struggled are converting fractions into percents (I showed him a way in how to do it), and solving for a variable (he gets a bit mixed up as to the operation needed to use to solve the problem). Next session, I will make sure we do some extra work on both solving for a variable and fractions and percents. I can also look up extra practice recommendations on those concepts with the family."

"In two sessions, the student and I covered the basics of kinematic motions and momentum and impulse, including elastic and inelastic collisions and momentum conservation."

"Today, we introduced inverse trigonometric functions and finding values of inverse trigonometric functions with and without a calculator. We also looked at nestled trigonometric functions and how to solve them using triangles. Finally, we worked on transformations of sec(x), csc(x), and cot(x) graphs. The student showed great improvement in work involving the unit circle!"

"We finished completing a difficult level math practice assessment. The student was quite patient during the practice test and used critical thinking skills and best test-taking skill practices throughout our session! She will not only continue to memorize vocabulary definitions this week, but she will also learn formulas for finding the area and volume of all geometric and 3D shapes. She also needs more practice finding the slope of a line from a given equation and finding the square of a binomial. Good luck on your test this Saturday; you have worked so hard to prepare, and I am proud of your efforts!"

"The student had an assignment to gather descriptive statistics from a large data file in SPSS. We walked through the process of generating a codebook that gave descriptive stats for central tendency (mean median) , dispersion (standard deviation, interquartile range), and frequencies. We used SPSS to generate frequency bar graphs for sex and activity measurements, and we made a box and whisker plot for age. "

"Today we went over addition and subtraction of decimals. We also moved forward in the student's math book and covered multiplication and division of decimals. We practiced several problems of long division and also some strategies about how to go about dividing decimals. We also covered the addition properties for her grade. She did great in today's session and understood everything I taught her. I will send her mom extra worksheets for her to practice multiplication and division more. "

"We worked through the student's book problems. We talked about relative frequency, experiments, solving equations with square roots and rules of exponents. We also went through more practice problems for her testing coming up. This was a wide variety of problems."

"First, the student and I worked on arithmetic and geometric sequences and how to write formulae for them. He picked up the technique pretty quickly and seemed to understand it well. Then I worked with the student on using vertical angle, supplementary angle, and complementary angle theorems to find missing angles in geometric and trigonometric figures. He did well with this. It took him some time to understand this concept, but we worked through it. After that speed bump, he finished his work very quickly."

"This session, we reviewed other topics we had gone over that the student felt she was still struggling with. We reviewed area and perimeter of circles as well as complex shapes. We also spent a lot of time on the Pythagorean theorem. We also did some review on probability. She is motivated to learn and a great student to work with. I consider her increasing comfort with the Pythagorean theorem a win. "

"This was a good session. We worked really hard on topic sentences. Understanding them, identifying them, and using them properly in a paragraph. We also worked on persuasive writing. The student has improved a lot, and there are still some areas that we are continuing to work on. "

"In this session, the student and I covered equilibrium. I previewed the topic and helped him get ahead and try to understand the concepts that would be covered in the lecture. He was well-prepared with the notes on the topic and was able to mostly understand the material. The student had difficulty with the specific definitions of the terms, which we will work on next time. Leaving the session, I left him with the suggestion to write the concept on a notecard to assist him in memorizing the specific wording. I think when specific problems are given that he will really be able to show his understanding. I did see major progress in the session, and he was able to answer a few of the difficult questions. "
