Brad: Minnetonka tutor
Certified Tutor in Minnetonka, MN
I enjoy helping students learn material in a way they can remember and apply in future coursework.... Perseverance trumps brilliance every time. Ask questions and work hard, and there's nothing you won't be able to understand.... I would begin by asking a few questions to see where a student is. I would then provide a useful note sheet and go over a refresher of some of the concepts we would be focusing on.

About Minnetonka
The name Minnetonka comes from the Dakota words mini tankas, which mean "great water." The construction of Fort Snelling in the area paved the way for the foundation of this Minnesota city, and Minnetonka was officially founded during the 1850s. Minnetonka was then incorporated into a city in 1956, and now is home to around 50,000 people.
Three school districts serve the public school needs of the community, which are the Minnetonka Public School District, Hopkins Public School District, and Intermediate School District 287. Minnetonka Senior High and Hopkins Senior High are both part of the city, and US News ranks them at 9th and 25th best secondary institutions in Minnesota. Private tutoring in Minnetonka is available either online or in-home to help you with general course instruction or test prep.

Today the student and I discussed cell growth and cell division. We specifically discussed the purpose and structure of the chromosome, as well as chromatin, nucleosomes, and chromatids. We discussed mitosis and meiosis, and the different steps of each as well as what occurs in each phase: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Overall the session was successful and she understood the material.

Student 1: He and I reviewed adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals. He was able to teach these skills back to me, which is great! When working on dividing decimals, we also talked about repeating decimals, which he found interesting.
Student 2: He and I worked on his words for his spelling quiz. He aced them all on the first try! We then read a few pages out loud from a book he and his dad have been reading. He is showing tremendous improvement with his reading skills. Although it is still slow for him to read out loud, he is correcting himself on mispronounced words and no longer skipping small words, such as "the" or "and." His spelling has also greatly improved!

Today, we reviewed some topics for the student's test, including parallel lines, the distance formula, medians and altitudes, and proofs (mainly dealing with triangles). We went over triangle proofs a little bit more in depth because they are a new topic. I advised him to review the different rules so he won't have as much trouble keeping track of them.

The student worked on a review for the midterm in her online school course. Most of the material was from early in the semester, so we spent a necessary amount of time to make sure she was comfortable with the earlier concepts that included integer and rational addition/ subtraction and multiplication/ division.
