Session Summaries by Tutors

"The student looked for her Geometry assessments in her virtual class, and we called the help line for answers. We continued to work on lesson 1, and she took notes about how to work through the problems. I requested a few items that should make tutoring more successful. "

"In our most recent tutor session, the student and I started with his English coursework. Having completed his work on Homer's Odyssey, he began a new novel this past week. We read chapters 5 and 6 together, and underlined and notated sections that indicated the main character's emotional well-being, as defined by Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs standards. We talked briefly about the themes within the book, and its relationship to several other texts (including To Kill a Mockingbird and White Oleander). We then continued our session by starting preparatory work for his upcoming map quiz in history, by researching and locating key cities and regions within the historical era being tested. For our next session, I requested that the student try to acquire all of his sources for his ongoing history paper, so that we can focus on putting together a thesis before structuring the rest of the essay.

"For our last session before the student's final we went over a bunch of topics to get her feeling prepared for the test. She handled the review problems really well. She needed a little refreshing on the instantaneous change formula but she had a strong grasp on it by the end. "

"We reviewed for AP Calculus AB including covering of complex fractions, radicals and trigonometry. The student worked through a review packet he provided doing example questions and reviewing concepts when necessary. "

"Both students did well on their test. Student M will also be able to redo a section to increase his grade. After reviewing that section of his test we moved on to topics they will cover this week. I showed them both how to graph inequalities and equations on a coordinate plane, how to solve simultaneous equations and inequalities algebraically, and went through the three methods, of graphing, substitution, and elimination. I touched a little on matrices, and what to expect - how operations work on them, and what an augmented matrix is. "

"We covered two-dimensional kinematics including trajectory, relative velocity, and circular motion. The most challenging part of these problems is visualization, so we worked on making sense of the problem in order to come up with a visual representation."

"We started this session by going over the student's reading homework books. She easily read through them with confidence on the first attempt. Her confidence with reading is soaring. Her mother and her teacher also commented on the confidence change in the student when it comes to reading and being able to participate confidently in class. She is still struggling with sounding out her words, however I did notice she would sound out the word without my prompting her this session. This is definitely a step forward in this process. She had a great attitude about reading with me; she is always excited to show me her reading skills. I requested that her mom read with the student on a daily basis at least 20 minutes. My biggest win from this session is watching the confidence with reading exude from the student. I suggested reading a Level 3 book, which before she would have shied away from, but she eagerly read through it with me today."

"We went over problems involving mean, median, mode (measures of central tendency), standard deviation, z-scores, probability, and confidence intervals. I gave the student a website with an excellent self test, and we will talk tomorrow if he has any further questions to prepare for his final exam."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"For our first session, we prepared for the student's upcoming exam. The concepts covered were limits and derivatives. For practice, we used an online site to fortify his understanding. I feel the extra practice will allow him to be able to solve the problems on his exam. He should be doing additional problems using the resources that I mentioned to him during our session. "

"We went over operations with rational functions - determining values that aren't allowed for x, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and simplifying. The student had a few questions about how to start the problem, but after one example, she was able to complete each type of problem on her own."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student and I covered his Lab 6 in order to prepare for his quiz tomorrow. The lab focused on voltage and how its changes will affect circuits. Now that the student has more of a firm grasp of how circuits work, new material seems to be becoming easier and easier to him. I introduced a few ways of thinking about circuitry, and he seemed to have little trouble understanding these concepts. He's doing well on his quizzes and tests, but hopefully we will see some further improvement as he continues to get comfortable with the subjects. "
