Award-Winning Test Prep & Academic Tutoring in Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, IN

"We went over problems the student did not understand for her exam later this week. She seemed to have a pretty good grasp on most of the problems. "

"The student and I went through a final test review packet. He said that the trigonometry section was the most difficult for him so we began with that. At the beginning, I asked him what SOHCAHTOA means and how to use it. I found that he had SIN, COS and TAN incorrectly noted. Once we straightened out that SIN = Opp/Hyp, COS = Adj/Hyp, and TAN = Opp/Adj, he said that many things began to make much more sense. He did a good job utilizing reference angles and one side to find a missing side and was able to apply the main trigonometric functions appropriately. He was also able to solve for particular angles by utilizing inverse trig functions. We will continue with another session tomorrow so that he is ready for his Wednesday final, but he is certainly solving problems perfectly well so far."
