Session Summaries by Tutors

"The student has begun the statistics portion of the course. We simply reviewed some of the terminology of samples. We determined if data was ordinal, nominal or interval. We talked about how graphs can be misleading if draw a certain way and the proper way to create histograms."

"We went over parabolas, circles, conic functions, hyperbolas, and ellipses. The student needed the most help with hyperbolas, but we worked through it until he understood them. He has his test tomorrow."

"During our session, the student and I worked through a packet of review problems he has for his final exam. The problems we covered dealt with many different topics, as the review packet covers all material from the class, including trigonometric ratios, finding the area of a dodecagon given its perimeter, calculating the standard deviation and variance of a data set, and determining at exactly what times the hands of a clock lie on top of one another. While some of the problems were rather difficult, the student and I worked through each one as I explained the steps to finding the solution, and after each problem he understood the material and how to arrive at the solution very well. The student is already looking very prepared for his final next month, and during our next session we will continue working through his review packet to cover the remaining topics on which he will eventually be tested."

"Today we reviewed logarithms, synthetic division, and inverse functions. Plugging the answers into the question saves a lot of time and can help in understanding the question. Remember that for inverse functions, x becomes y, and y becomes x. The student is learning a lot and as always is very meticulous. Just remember to double-check arithmetic and signs while completing a problem. Thank you for a good session!"

"We reviewed the vertex and intercept forms of a quadratic equation and how to find the vertex and two additional points in order to sketch the graph of the parabola. We also practiced factoring quadratic equations and finding the zeros by both factoring and taking square roots. We reviewed simplifying and rationalizing square roots and talked about how quadratic functions can have zero, one, or two solutions depending on what type of values are underneath the radical. Lastly, we did a quick review of solving generic equations for a specific variable, absolute value functions, and inequalities. The student is doing well simplifying square roots and she is becoming more comfortable rationalizing fractions with square roots and working with the vertex form of a quadratic function. "

"We worked with fractional exponents for the most part, reviewing homework and concepts we had covered before. The student seems to be understanding that material strongly (we had covered this material previously before she had it in class). We also spent a bit of time talking about the SAT subject test and practiced a few problems for that. This was just to get a taste for how she's dealing with it. I will be working on research on the test and will come up with a more structured plan to prep for the test in the coming weeks."

"The student and I practiced writing for his SAT test. We went over a few writing tips and simulated the writing portion of the test twice. He feels more confident about his classes this semester. "

"The student has work in math, Spanish, and English. In math, he is learning about the volumes of various surfaces and how to calculate them. In English, his class is reading Night, by Elie Wiesel; since he's already read the book, this should be easy. He just needs to reread the passages more thoroughly so that he can draw meaningful conclusions about the overarching themes. In Spanish, they're learning to talk about actions that they did in the past using the past imperfect."

"The student wanted just a little more time working on related rates problems. We worked on a few problems from her textbook, as well as a handful of problems that I provided. She occasionally has trouble keeping track of all of the variables and constants in a problem, so the majority of my help was catching small errors and providing suggestions for how to avoid those in the future. Her final is tomorrow, and I think she is ready."

"Today we focused on the relationships between displacement, velocity, and acceleration. The first worksheet dealt with graphing s, v, and a functions. The student still needs work with curve sketching. I have a day set apart in the near future to focus solely on curve sketching and first and second derivative tests. Before we began working on D, V, and A, we briefly reviewed limits. He could use some help with creative algebra. We'll work on this in our next session. "

"This was my first session with the student. We covered Area and volume. Area of parallelogram, triangles, trapezoids, and area of circles. She knows the material very well. We did the practice questions in her book, and she did very well. She had very few questions about the work on finding the area. We also went over space figures, surface area of prism and cylinders, which she had knowledge of how to do the work. She did the practice problems in the book and understood them very well. I told her she should always write down the formula, such that you she can be sure that she doesn't make any mistakes or does not forget any steps. I will bring in worksheets and practice test that I will try and find them online. And also will suggest she uses the practice test online. I did not see any test/quiz grades, but did ask her to have them for next session. She was very confident with the material. "
