Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"We had a long session with the student working on the two papers she needs to finish for her PhD class. She worked especially on the first, going over the whole paper to make sure that she had a tight structure and that each section corresponded to her stated structure. She worked on transitions from one section to another, making sure that all ideas were explained clearly and concisely. She double-checked the original prompt to make sure that she was covering all the requirements. I gave her points to check as she is going over revisions. Then she created an outline for her second paper with approximate lengths and steps. The papers need to be in on this Monday. She seems to be absolutely on track to not only be able to get them in, but for them to be well written with ample research and original thought. Well done."

"The student made great headways in getting a good understanding of all of the assumptions that are to be used to create pro forma financial statements. We will work on looking at how the flow of funds works and how all of the financial statements are connected and impacted by changes in sales, etc. We will continue tomorrow night on this assignment."

"We covered vocab the student had to learn and practice for class. We also worked on the conditional tense. We then went back to the basics and worked on conversation to review those basics as well."

"We went over all the somewhat-confusing problems from Saturday School work, and then I gave the student an introduction to trigonometry. He had seen the SOHCAHTOA definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent, but I introduced them in the context of the unit circle, and as functions of an ever-increasing angle theta. I gave him a good way to memorize the sine and cosine values that everyone will be expected to know. I'll check in next week to solidify what we covered, but I think we did really well to introduce so much."

"The student and I spent our session working on an assignment she has due right after her quiz/test next week so that she could have more time this week to study. We dealt with the Line Editor class assignment in which I helped her through writing the Line Editor method deleteAll, which removes all occurrences (if any) of a given String from the line of text, including any that are formed as a result of the deletion process. We had to review concepts including parameters, variable declaration, and the assignment operator in order to code the method successfully. Once she has reviewed this material we will go over her questions, solidify her understanding of the concepts, and then tackle the CodingBat assignments on strings, loops, and iterations."

"The student has a great attitude and is really motivated to improve her reading skills. We did some upper level reading comprehension sample passages and questions to establish a baseline of where her reading level is. We are going to focus on building confidence, phonics, and using context to figure out word meanings."

"We spent most of the time working on math. The student has basic understanding of the math concepts. We are working to make sure that he reads the question carefully to understand what is being asked so that he can pull out the skills that he has to get the right question. We also spent some time on the reading portion. He is very good at getting the main topic, and we are working on going back to the paragraph to look for the answer."

"This was our final SSAT review session, ans the student was given 2 practice tests: one for verbal and one for reading. She said she feels pretty good going into the exam, and didn't have any questions. I advised her to work in her workbook for about an hour tomorrow, but overall to relax and not second guess herself on the exam. She did well today, and I think she should show improvement on her exam score."

"We covered more practice problems for the SSAT (which the student and her brother took today). They have informed me that she is going to be studying with fellow classmates for her next SSAT. They have purchased the flashcards to study with as I suggested. And I gave her goals of learning the math equations and theories behind the problems not just completing the practice problems. I expect she will perform much better on this text than she did previously. She seems relieved that the exam is over. I think she needs to begin studying for the next month's exam immediately."

"Today we worked on rotational motion. Her attitude was positive throughout the session. I included strategies to simplify the material. I look forward to our next session."

"The student and I reviewed a case related to a corporation and the cost of capital. The case content included detailed information pertaining to the corporation's operations and the goal of executives to re-evaluate an appropriate cost of capital for the entire organization. We worked through a series of questions in order to determine the appropriate beta (and this included the process of unlevered/levered beta calculations), risk free rate, and risk premium to be used, and we discussed the supporting reasons why the items were selected. We also discussed how a "hurdle rate" also refers to the use of a WACC or discount rate, and we started working through the divisional calculations as well. The student took great notes and understood many of the items we covered, and this was a good start for her, as she would move forward and meet with her group."
