Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"We went through the student's homework assignments on factoring difference of squares and difference of cubes, and on factoring by grouping. Once we walked through the steps, he was able to do them on his own."

"The student had a review packet for a test this coming week. In the packet, it deals with identifying the proper equation from the word problem and doing different calculations with fractions. She is doing really well with this. I helped her do some of the problems in the packet, but she really did not have any trouble understanding how to work the problems. I have confidence that she will do well on her test this week."

"For this session, I pre-taught the lessons on adding and subtracting fractions. We covered addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators. Then, we covered addition and subtraction of fractions with unlike denominators. We reviewed least common multiples and the means of determining them. We reviewed simplifying fractions. We also covered improper fractions and mixed numbers. The student is very capable of adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. She also is very capable of finding the lowest common denominator. She recognizes improper fractions and can simplify them into the correct mixed number. The area where she struggled was with regrouping when adding or subtracting fractions. We will work on this next time."

"The student and I worked on his homework worksheet on prime and composite numbers for the first part of the session and worked on long division and patterns for the second part. His math teacher requested that we go over long division with two digits, and after the first problem, I could see where he was having trouble. However, after going through a few more problems and teaching him to guess and check, he was able to answer some more difficult questions without assistance. We then spent the last few minutes of the session working on patterns from his math workbook. We will spend the next session continuing to work through his review sheet for his semester exams next week."

"Today the student finished her 4th grade word problems workbook. We have moved on to her decimals practice workbook. She remains strong in math computation but her biggest struggle is staying focused through multiple problems."

"We covered geometric constructions. Much of the session was reviewing previous concepts and applying them to other cases, such as inscribing a square. I also had the student explicitly explain how constructions, such as bisecting an angle or drawing a perpendicular bisector, work in plain English. I encouraged her to continue explicitly describing what she does for these problems so that she can get in the habit of thinking through scenarios clearer. Another tip is to think of incorporating previous solutions when faced with a tough problem (e.g., using an inscribed square to find possible right triangles for a given line segment)."

"In chemistry, we talked about naming ionic compounds and writing formulas for ionic compound names given. For naming them, I gave a specific formula to find the charge of the transition element that was reported in Roman numerals with the name. For the "old system," we relied on the table given by the teacher. To find the formula from the name, we switched the charges to find the amounts of each ion/polyatomic ion. In pre-calculus, we talked about transformations, shrinks, and expansions of sinusoidal graphs. "

"We went over the student's review packet for his upcoming test. He seemed very prepared and was able to answer most of the questions on his own. He initially was confused on how relate the ratio of sides, area, and volume with each other, but he was able to quickly understand what to do. Many of the questions were on volume and he had no trouble using the appropriate formulas to solve these. I'm also glad to see that he did very well on his last test."

"The student is still working on volumes of solid shapes, so we continued practice on that. We will continue with this concept until we get notice of an exam. "

"Today we studied for his test going over probabilities. We did examples with animals, food, and sports. I would ask him how he would set up the probability by giving him examples and by the end he was giving the examples and solving for them. He gets this stuff and if he takes his time I think he can really do well on this test. He did great and grasped it well. I'm looking forward to the grade he will be receiving on this test. "

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"I worked with the student on the volume and surface area of solids. She completed two worksheets on this content. Items the student needs to study further include the formula to calculate the area of a trapezoid and the quadratic formula. The student is going to ask her teacher how he wants them to solve problems where they need to find the radius of a cylinder's base. "
