Session Summaries by Tutors

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We devoted some time to memorizing the sum/difference identities as well as the double angle theorems to solve trigonometric equations. We tried to come up with our mnemonics and songs to help her remember these identities. We then used the rest of the time to solve similar problems related to these identities. She has a quiz on the identities tomorrow, which she should be great in. "

"We covered word problems involving containers with material being added at one rate and material being depleted at a different rate, finding maximum values, critical points, etc. The student expressed that working through problems together was helpful for her. This was our first session together so it is hard to note progress, but I believe she became more comfortable with the problems as we went through more of them."

"During our session, the student and I worked from her algebra 2 review guide and bonus sheet for her exam. We covered trigonometric functions, how to use a unit circle, and 30-60-90 triangles. She seems to understand the information and did well on the study sheets. "

"Before this session, the student got the ACT book and looked over the English and math chapters. She came to me with questions from the math section related to ratios and permutations/ combinations, and I helped her understand how to do those types of problems. We then went over strategies for the science section, including how to approach each passage. I recommended that she continue reading the book as well as doing practice problems and tests, preferably timed."

"This was my first time meeting this student. The lesson focus, aka the most recent topic from her algebra class, was equations and inequalities with absolute value which describe the set of points a certain distance away from a center point. Once she was able to rewrite the equation in words as, "The solutions are 4 spaces away from the center at -3," she became much more comfortable working with variations on the problems, and moving between the different representations: equation (or inequality), graph on a number line, solution set, and verbal description. I did notice that she sometimes makes errors when adding or subtracting positive/ negative numbers, but she can fix her errors when I pointed them out. At the end of the lesson, we also touched on the geometry topics of surface area and volume, and how prisms with the same volume can have different surface areas. She told me that those were one of her more challenging topics from geometry. I left her with the problem-solving papers that we worked on together during the lesson. Overall, the lesson went very well, and the student was open to trying creative variations on the math topics."

"The student and I reviewed her homework for her new chapter which focused on perfects and rates. She was able to do the majority of the problems without help. She is getting better at picking out the relevant information in word problems."

"In our first session, we worked on features/proofs for parallelograms. At our next session, we worked on test preparations. I quizzed the student on "always, sometimes, never" features of parallelograms as well as other potential coordinate geometry problems."

"We focused on practicing for the ACT. We went over some Math problems that the student was able to complete as well as questions in the Science section."

"The student and I reviewed for her Chapter 11 geometry exam. We covered area ratios, polygon areas, circle area and sectors, and some theorems from her chapter. She seems to be pretty confident for her upcoming exam and knows the material well. Most of it came natural to her, and other things we reviewed a couple of times. I wish her the best on this exam; it's a comprehensive one and will be tricky. I look forward to working with her soon. "

"This was my first session with the student, so we started off with some general questions to understand what our objective is. She is currently on leave from school and does not want to fall behind so the purpose of meeting with me is to ensure that she will be able to keep up in school without the aid of lecture. The topic of the homework that we covered was kites and trapezoids. On this topic we covered some formulaic based problems as well as went over some of the overlying concepts involved with these types of questions. We completed 2 full sections of work and left one for her to try on her own. "

"The student and I studied her state assessment test review package. She had two problems which she had marked for questions. I gave her several problems to address them. We also reviewed the majority of the other problems. The student seems extremely prepared for her test. "
