Session Summaries by Tutors

"The student got 100% on his last packet. I congratulated him on doing so well and completing his work. First, we worked on math for about an hour. He had ten problems to put into the y=mx+b format and then graph. He completed all of them. He has a new packet on atomic structure. This is new to him in science. We finished page 6 and 7. He is going to try to do some on his own and I will review the rest tomorrow night with him."

"On my first session with the student we talked about how he feels about his math work in school and what he was having trouble with. He said he felt pretty good about his work and met regularly with his math teacher, but had some trouble areas. He said he was working on scale factors and shapes, so I decided we would begin working on scale factors with triangles. He demonstrated mastery of scale factors and I shared a little bit of trigonometry to keep the session challenging. I asked him to grab a model he had and he came back with a model plane and a ruler. We used the plane and the inch measurements he found and converted them by a scale factor and then converted it to feet through a unit conversion factor. The student performed excellently and practiced his problem solving, critical thinking, multiplication, and long division. We finished early and spent time speaking about superconductors. I defined what a conductor is in relation to electricity, how electrons work, and how temperature changes the behavior of atoms. I demonstrated the real world effects of these things through a video and we discussed the real world application in Elon Musk's plan to build a Hyperloop train. He seemed to absorb these lessons and was able to extrapolate the information into other applications correctly. We ended with the student teaching me how to make an origami ninja star. "

"The student had to make up some online math homework that he had previously missed/not understood. The concepts included finding constants and graphing equations with asymptotes. He caught on quickly when these concepts were explained and was able to apply what he learned to similar problems."

"Today, the student and I covered review material for his test on Thursday. His test will cover multiple equation word problems, geometry proofs, polar coordinates, and simplifying complex expressions. He seemed to struggle with proportions and using them to set up equations, so we spent a good amount of time going over examples. After our session, he seemed confident for his test!"

"This session focused on the chain rule and implicit differentiation. The student seemed to be more comfortable with the material when clearly labeling each of the components of a problem. She seems to be gaining more confidence with the material as we review concepts."

"We spent the session working through this week's current assignment, which is a follow up to determining the WACC, required rate of return, and NPV of an international investment. The student will follow up with draft assignment results for review."

"We covered material that was on a study guide for a test that the student has on March 31st. The test centered around a story, which we reread and summarized. I taught her how to write down the main points of the story. We then reviewed vocabulary words by writing down the definition on flashcards and quizzing on them. I gave her homework that would require she review her flashcards, and if she still missed some, she would rewrite them. We then covered idioms, homophones, and proper nouns. All of this will be on her test. She struggled a bit with memorizing definitions and sometimes read too fast and scrambled her words. We will work on reading slower and comprehension next time. She was very positive and great to work with! "

"We covered solving systems of two equations and we could either solve them by substitution, elimination, or by graphing. The student had trouble understanding what it meant when our algebra gave us solutions like 0 = 5 or 8 = 8, so I explained that if the equation is correct, there are infinite solutions. If it isn't correct, there is no solution."

"The student worked on her homework (writing fractions as a percent and adding fractions with unlike denominators). We also revisited long division (one digit by two and three digits) and multiplying decimals through the use of a puzzle. Finally, we reviewed counting up money totals (coins only). She did a great job for most of the session!"

"Today, we reviewed how to apply sum and difference formulas to simplify trigonometric expressions and find exact trigonometric values. The student will not need to memorize these formulas for her class, so her only challenge will be keeping track of all her calculations, making sure to not make minor errors. The work is tedious, but she is able to complete it successfully."

"We worked on tests for means, including confidence intervals, and t-tests for one and two means. We also discussed how to set up a matched pairs problem. She seems as prepared as I have seen her since we started working together. I am looking forward to hearing really good news about her test on Friday. "
