Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student has a test coming up, so we reviewed questions that will be on it: related rates and derivatives. The derivatives section went smoothly, and we were able to effectively review these. He understood the related rates problems that were reviewed in class, and he was able to find the solutions when we did them for practice. Next session, we will focus more on setting up the related rates problems."

"We prepared for his unit test on exponential functions and the number e. We covered transformations and graphing and compound interest application problems. We completed his entire review packet with ease. He is very prepared for his test."

"Today we finished with our final preparation for the student's math final. We did more work on factoring, solving radicals, solving systems of equations, and graphing quadratic equations. We also finished his note card today, and it is full of formulas, laws, and worked examples. We have exhausted nearly all of the sample problems available in the book, either from our first time through working on the homework, or from this review, and I believe that he is ready. He seemed to be pretty confident and ready to take the test, and he should perform fine. "

"The student has been doing quite a bit of prep already. We worked on writing, reading, and math subtests. His math skills seem solid. For reading, we worked on how to quickly discern the author's intent/argument in non-fiction. His writing seemed solid as far as we went."

"The student and I covered topics from his assignment including but not limited to: exponential functions, applications of exponential functions, graphs of exponential functions, approximating changes in time, differentiating between constant and exponential rates of change, horizontal asymptotes, and determining the range given a graph and function. The student didn't struggle too much. He just required some guided practice and prompts to get him started. The student was very cooperative throughout the session. "

"The student seemed to have trouble working with radical notation, but once she understood the correspondence between radicals and exponentials, she did much better. We also chatted about Pascal's triangle, combinations and permutations, and compound interest, but she already seemed to grasp these concepts pretty well. It sounds like her teacher has been discussing derivatives in class, which is quite advanced for 8th grade algebra!"

"In order to prep for the upcoming state assessment test, I gave the student a diagnostic test covering the quantitative reasoning and math sections. He did fairly well on both sections, but I will be sending a diagnostic exam to get a specific breakdown on standards to work on."

"The student has an exam tomorrow on periodic table related topics. She did well (90%) on last test we prepared for. Since she was out of town in the previous week, I fleshed out notes from one of her classmates, and also used a teacher-provided list of objectives. Topics included trends in the periodic table such as electronegativity, e-affinity, ionization energy and atomic radius. We also explored the physical meaning of periods and groups, names for some of the groups and regions of the table devoted to filling various orbitals. She was not content to memorize but rather sought understanding of concepts such as effective nuclear charge and shielding, and so I am confident she'll do well."

"We spent about 3/4 of the time on Pre-calculus and 1/4 on Chemistry. We continued working through problems in his math workbook. Today most of these problems were focused on transformations of functions like stretches or translations to a function f(x). The student seems to be making progress on each type of problem, but we may want to work a little more on problems with absolute value a little more before the exam. We also worked on Chemistry with problems from a chapter review packet (Chapters 4-6? I don't remember which numbers). This focused on properties of elements and how they change as you move across rows and down columns on the periodic table. He has a good understanding of these types of properties. I think the main thing to focus on when studying is remembering how to translate terms (like electronegativity and electron affinity) into concepts he already has a grasp of (which elements want to gain or lose electrons)."

"The student and I covered chances in likely, unlikely, certain, and impossible. Additionally, I had him read a story and answer questions about the story in proper sentence structure and grammar. I also went over the science topics of mass, volume, and physical and chemical properties."

"I think this session went very well. Tonight, the student and I covered how to calculate a standard deviation, variance for both a normal and sampling distributions. Following that, we worked on binomial factorials - a topic that he had great comfort with. Finally, we discussed normal distributions, z-scores, and areas. This was the area that was a tad more nebulous, so I encouraged him to explore internet resources to get more familiar with the topic. Since yesterday, he has shown improvement and increased comfort with the material. Needless to say, I am confident that he will do well. It was a pleasure working with him."
