Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"Today the student and I reviewed more for his quiz on Friday covering patterned and sequences, and finding the rule from a table. I brought two worksheets for him to work on and we completed them. Student 2 needed to finish some homework over graphing inequalities and we completed that worksheet. "

"We discussed last week's tests and quizzes, what they scored, what they missed and why they missed it. We discussed setting goals and why standards should be raised instead of just aiming for a passing score. Student J worked on some biology homework that is due later this week. "

"Great focus from the student. He worked on his math homework, which was a logic worksheet. We then did a bio review worksheet and prepped for an upcoming bio test, which he totally understands. We then practiced study tactics for memorizing with Spanish-speaking countries and capitals for his upcoming Spanish test."

"For this session, we mostly covered a review of the student's DBQ assignment, which was comprised of forming a thesis on the spread of Buddhism in Han Dynasty China, and we read several primary sources from his history class in an issued packet. We covered the goals of the assignment, including grouping the primary sources into as many categories as possible (pro-Buddhist, opinionated, non-opinionated, pre-Han, post-Han, pro-Confucian, neutral, etc.), quoting evidence to strengthen his thesis, and factoring in the sources of each document and the authors' points of view. We also looked for a visual to further bolster his thesis, such as a graph and a pie chart on the spread of Buddhism during the Han and post-Han times. I then helped him write more about his thesis using the strongest primary source material that supported his claim. After working on his DBQ, of which most of the session was focused, I helped him prepare for pop quizzes and how to decipher college-level vocabulary that is encountered in AP history courses. We then completed his Venn diagram on contrasting the parallels and uniqueness of the Roman Empire and the Chinese Empire (Han Dynasty). It was a productive session."

"The student and I continued to work on Math during this session. We reviewed both the last 10 math practice section questions I left him, along with homework practice problems. After discussing patterns and how to deduce the nth term of a pattern at length, we moved on to another practice section. This time, we progressed through the math section, 10 problems at a time with 1 minute per question. He consistently finished ahead of time. His accuracy was equivalent to the previous section (~80-90%), though the number of questions he guessed on decreased significantly in his opinion. Conversely from our previous meeting, he did not struggle with geometry questions, likely due to the practice problems I gave him to review geometric shapes (especially triangles)."

"We finished one quiz and three homework assignments together. The student is doing very well. She can follow the directions and get the correct answer. For complex numbers and vectors, there are many formulas. As long as she knows which formula she needs to use, she can get it right."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We covered circle theorems for the student's geometry test tomorrow. The student initially had trouble understanding when to use which circle theorem, but she seemed to understand all the concepts at the end. She told me she understood the material a lot better and felt confident for her test tomorrow. "

"We talked almost exclusively about the properties of lines within graphs, namely what makes a line parallel or perpendicular. We went over a previous test that the student had taken and practiced lots of problems involving recognizing and manipulating parallel and/or perpendicular lines. We've also decided on a somewhat new strategy, namely, we're going to worry less about what's being gone over in his homework and more about repeating a concept until he truly remembers and gets it. He wants to do well, so we're going to try to help him feel like he can succeed and understand concepts by going for comprehension rather than breadth of topic."

"The student is currently working on graphing linear inequalities. He wanted me to go over the techniques of doing so, so I taught him how to graph the lines, when to use dotted vs. solid, and how to determine which side of the line to shade in. He went ahead and practiced the techniques on his homework assignment. He understands the concepts. We also covered how to solve systems of equations using the elimination method. "

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We worked through word problems using factoring to solve quadratics. The student is beginning to understand how to set up the problems. We worked problems involving area of the shape and using max/ min of parabola."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student worked on her daily homework and we looked at concepts for her upcoming state assessment test. The lengthy word problems on her homework were a little confusing at times, but it was helpful for her to break them down into individual problems. We also focused on the different types of triangles for her test. "
