Rockwall Test Scores
It’s helpful for your child to know the content on standardized tests, but familiarity with the timing and format of these exams is also important for optimal performance. Test preparation tutors in Rockwall can help your student get comfortable with any of the exams administered through the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) program. Students in grades 3-8 take tests covering reading, writing, social studies, science, and math. High school students have end-of-course exams in English, geometry, history, and other subjects.

Session Summaries by Tutors
The student and I worked through problems involving quadratic equations and their graphs. We worked ahead on her material to prepare her for what would be taught in class the following week. She seemed to catch onto the concepts in these chapters quickly.

We worked on logarithmic functions. The student did practice on solving for exponents and answers with adding and subtracting logs. Spent a small amount of time at the end of the session reviewing physics, but the student seemed very comfortable with that material. The student worked very well through the material.

Today we went over the few problems the student was assigned for homework. The problems were not multiple choice, they were word problems, and problems that required steps and showing all work. We covered a topic that she had not seen too much practice on, linear regression. These problems required using the calculator and interpreting the results. I went over the significance of linear regression, what the values mean, and how to identify those problems. She was quick to pick those concepts up. Also we took a deep dive into radicals and factoring radicals. This sub-subject came into play since we were using the quadratic equation for some problems. Overall, I think she did a great job and I am looking forward to the next session!

I worked with the student in this session to help her study for a quiz in her NSL class on political participation. She had a few concept cards left to complete, so we worked on coming up with specific examples she could use. We then discussed in depth the different types of elections (general, primary, midterm, presidential) as well as voter turnout trends. She had a great understanding of most of the material and had specific questions about the trickier topics and how they relate to what's happening in the news. This demonstrates to me that she is motivated to do well in this class!

We started today with the student's homework. I then came up with some problems so he could practice combining like terms, which is what the homework was on. Then, we did some problems using different websites to practice 1) translating written expressions into mathematical notation, and 2) fraction addition and subtraction word problems, including finding common denominators.
