Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"The student has a upcoming test that we reviewed for. We began with concepts she learned at the beginning of the year like the properties of graphs and moved on to limits. She struggled a bit with limits so we will continue to review it more. We also worked through derivatives of trig functions and inverse functions. We finished with tangent lines and implicit differentiation. "

"The student and I had a very productive session. We discussed imaginary numbers and figured out the pattern as you increase the exponent. We looked at a word problem she had in her notes and resolved the issue. We then did her homework assignment where we were looking at the difference of two squares, and other quick ways to multiply polynomials. We then went down the list of each concept that will be covered on her quiz and did some problems from each section."

"Today I talked to the student about his progress and current state in school. He updated me on his college selections. I did review the 9 step process for action potential and go over the labeled diagram - both of which he seemed to have a good grasp on. I told him to review his actual lecture notes because he had not gone over them before hand. I will go over them with him tomorrow."

"Reviewed problems for the student's homework involving a new topic from that day's class and provided a formula/strategy for solving such problems. Topics included finding the length of segments of chords/secants/tangents intersecting a circle using mathematical relationships. Also introduced problems for solving the measure of arcs on the circle that are "carved out" by chords/secants/tangents, etc."

"The student and I worked on finding the area of skewed squares. She had a procedure, but did not know why it worked. We broke down the shape, and looked for patterns. She quickly saw that we did not have to calculate the area of each right triangle individually, since we would be dividing by two and then multiplying by 4. We created a table to organize data showing the dimensions of the triangles and the area of the shape. Extrapolating from this, she developed a formula that we could use for finding the area of any square, no matter the dimensions of the outside triangles. Using this formula, she was able to mathematically prove why the area of a^2 and b^2 gave c^2."

"Today the student and I went over fractions and decimals and then did several reading passages. He seems to have trouble with the nonfiction passages so we will do more of these tomorrow. He will also send me the results of his quizzes that I asked him to complete."

"We covered graphing quadratic functions. The student learned about vertical shifts, horizontal shifts, shrinkage, and stretches. Then, we reviewed calculating the vertex, zeros, axis of symmetry, and determination of an odd or even function. She'd ask questions when she didn't understand something. She learned the concepts quickly. "

"We went on to the student's next chapter, which will be on the final some time from now. This chapter was all about factoring and using different techniques to factor. She struggled a bit with understanding the process of factoring, especially when the equation is not an easily factorable set, but I have advised her to look at the examples in her textbook and to go over more practice tests to better understand how to factor. Other than that, the student showed enthusiasm in learning the concepts."

"Today the student and I covered logarithmic expression rules. We went over his homework and tried a few tougher practice problems. He was having the most trouble with figuring out how to start tackling a problem if it's large in scope. But once he gets over that initial hump, he needs no help from there on. We will be working on Friday, Sunday and Monday to prepare for his exam next Tuesday. "

"We went over L'Hopital's rule and indeterminate forms in addition to using these two concepts to explore the growth rates of functions by finding limits at infinity. Trigonometric identities and their derivatives tripped the student up a bit. There can also be some work done on the different rules of derivation to ensure she's ready for the test on Friday. However, in terms of understanding the concepts, how they're applied, and what they can be used for, she did amazing. We breezed through concepts, but as with the last session, she asked questions and made connections that showed she had an understanding of the material. "

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The concept I covered specifically was Math. The student's attitude toward the material that was reviewed was good. Strategies were included in this session. Extra practice was left. "
