Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"The session began by quickly reviewing material that we covered during our previous session. The student mentioned that he received a 100 on both Chemistry quizzes he has taken since our last session. We reviewed some terms for his Chemistry test tomorrow, but then quickly transitioned to a reading passage he was assigned. He was required to read the text and then summarize it (giving setting, characters, problem, and resolution). He was also required to write 5 terms he did not know and then define them via context clues. In order to expedite the process, I read to the student and had him follow along with the text. We would discuss paragraphs and entire sections as I completed the reading. He was required to summarize the information as we went along. We would also discuss unfamiliar terms and ways to use the text surrounding an unfamiliar word to help define it. Halfway through the reading we began working on the summation of the text. He was able to recall the setting, characters, and their problem without difficulty. We discussed that even though we hadn't finished the text, we could write most of the paragraph required because we had been paying attention to the details as we read along. We ended the session by again reviewing materials that would be covered on his Chemistry test. I provided the student with a simple flow chart to help him remember unfamiliar Chemistry terms (e.g., sublimation, vaporization, etc.). This was a very productive session."

"Today the student worked on adding and subtracting polynomials. This was good practice for the student. By the end, we was getting through the problems quickly! "

"The student and I worked on complex numbers- specifically calculating the trigonometric form, multiplying/dividing, and using powers. She needed a couple reminders as to how to solve the problem, but overall she did very well (hardly any errors and a good understanding of the concept behind each problem). We spent the last 30 minutes of the session reviewing her first unit. I had her take a practice quiz, and the majority of the problems she couldn't figure out how to solve. I encouraged her to take time to go back through her notes and complete the quiz, then we could go over the problems she was having the most difficulty with. "

"We covered the definition of a derivative and finding the line tangent at certain points. We went over practice problems found in the student's book that her teacher assigned. "

"We prepared for the student's test on Modern Atomic Theory, which was the following day. We went over orbitals (what they are, what they look like, placement of electrons), electron configuration, periodic trends, concepts often tested via multiple choice questions, and tricky questions that may come up during the exam. The student seems to have a general understanding of the concepts. We fine-tuned her skills and built upon them. She should do well on her exam."

"The student and I reviewed the filling of electrons into orbitals for chemistry. We also reviewed his math chapter and did review practice. This included graphing, slope-intercept form, finding slope, finding intercepts, and determining if lines are horizontal or vertical based on their slopes. It also included graphing based on equations and/or points with slopes, and solving for m and b in slope-intercept form."

"Today, we went over the student's recent test on complex numbers. She got a B! We fixed all incorrect problems on the test. She definitely understands the concepts; we just need to work on double-checking the work and looking for simple arithmetic mistakes. We also discussed her upcoming final exam and switching our tutoring dates for that week."

"In this session, the student did his homework on direct and inverse proportions, and synthetic division. He understood the synthetic division well and was able to do all of the related problems quickly and with only a very few minor mistakes. He was only slightly confused for the problems involving complex numbers, and understood those as well quickly enough. Direct and inverse proportions were a bit harder for him, and we spent more time on them, going over further problems after the homework as well until he had a decent intuitive understanding of how to solve them. Also, after the session I realized a way that he could more easily set proportionality problems up, and emailed him this method."

"The student got a 93% on his last exam which was very good to hear; he did very well. Today we worked on challenge problems 9.1 and 9.2. 9.1 involved comparing the number of faces on a prism and a pyramid with congruent bases. It was conceptual and theoretical rather than computational. I walked him through it and he seems to have grasped the concept well. Problem 9.2 had to do with finding the visible area of a three-layer cake where each layer was a cylinder smaller than the layer below it. He had a bit of a challenge visualizing the visible surface area so I coached him with how to draw it. Once he got the drawing correct, he was able to formulate a plan on how to solve it. There was a lot of math as we have to find the visible surface area of each layer separately and then add all three for the total visible surface area. He did well with understanding it and finishing the problem. "

"Today the student filled me in on how math is going. She is retaking the Chapter 7 test. We did work on some test corrections from this chapter and we worked on attention to detail and notation. We focused on preparing for her Chapter 8 test which is Wednesday. She has been struggling with this material so we reviewed and worked on absolute values. We continued to work on attention to details and will review her recent quiz in our next session. "

"Today's session was focused on practice problems and test prep for the student. I tried to ask targeted questions for him to think through the process, and figure it out, and I asked him to continue to review. I hope that he takes his time with the retest and thinks problems all the way through!"
