Session Summaries by Tutors

"We worked on the practice exam that I made for her. She was a little rusty on some concepts, but did it well overall. "

"We finished reviewing the material for the student's exam tomorrow on conic sections. In particular, we focused on hyperbolas and proving sequences by induction. She was great at working with hyperbolas, but had minor issues identifying information that was not given directly by the equations in the book. I emphasized a few strategies she can use to obtain parameters like semi minor axis, center and a and b. Induction as usual is an abstract topic, but she did not let that deter her. She had difficulties only with the final step in which (k+1) is imputed on both sides of the equation. As long as she remembers to add f (k+1) to both sides NOT just (k+1) she will nail those questions."

"This session was small, but the students who attended were engaged and willing to work hard with the material. We focused on long and short vowel sounds, and translating sentences from Spanish into English. "

"This was our first session! The student seems very eager to do well in his algebra class, though he feels like he has harder math classes than he was used to. Luckily, I think he has the drive to do well. We covered exponentials in this session. While he felt comfortable about exponential functions, we had to go over how to look at exponents in general. I spent a lot of time reviewing the rules behind exponents, and made up several problems for him to do. While he had some difficulties, he was able to correctly do the problems by the end after I showed him a couple examples of each rule. I hope he remembers these rules, and retains what we went over in this session!"

"The session went well. We worked on a translation from the "de bello gallico" which she has a test on tomorrow. I explained to her how to do a translation and where to start from. We also reviewed some verbs."

"Both students had a packet for homework on simplifying more complicated algebraic expressions. We went through a random set together which was good practice."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We reviewed some of the concepts that we have been studying. The student has a make-up test on chapter 9 that he will be doing tomorrow, so we went over it. This chapter includes concepts such as adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials, graphing parabolas, and combining like terms. He is doing better with the latter but still needs to keep improving, since combining like terms is a key part of working with polynomials. He continues to be a very attentive student. "

"The student needed help with plotting points, so I made a few practice problems. She had a few issues with locating the second quadrant, but we were able to work through the problems more effectively with time. "

"The student and I went over algebraic rules for exponents, how to simplify them to their lowest form and how to solve for a variable in the exponent. I went step by step for the first few problems, then had her solve them as I guided her. She seemed to be very confident at the end of the lesson and was solving the more difficult problems with relative ease. I also gave her tips on how to think about problems as a whole as well as tips on taking tests to get better grades. At the end of the session, I told her that she needs to keep practicing these types of problems because the more experience she gets, the easier they are to solve. Also, the more problems she does, the more she will understand the methodology and can then generally apply the rules to more difficult problems with ease. "

"We worked on solving systems of equations by elimination. We had to review quite a few old concepts while working through the problems in this worksheet. The student needed help with some basic algebra concepts. I left him a study sheet outlining the steps and an example problem of how to work out such problems."

★ ★ ★ ★

"This was the first day I got to work with both students. We worked on math for an hour each. Student 1 was working on factoring and simplifying algebraic equations while Student 2 had a work sheet on the quadratic formula. They completed homework in both cases and did so throughout the hour's time. "
