About Sunrise
If you enjoy fun-in-the-sun, then just the name of the city of Sunrise, Florida, gives you an idea that living in the city would be perfect for you. Just a few miles west of Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise is part of Broward County and, as expected in South Florida, has mild winters and is warm and sunny much of the year. The city has a quirky history, and when first incorporated in 1961, the architect and land developer built an upside-down-house to encourage people to come to the area and check it out. Today, the city hosts a large number of festivals and offers many outdoor sporting facilities and parks that help locals take advantage of the great local weather.
The city of Sunrise is served by the Broward County Public School System, which offers some of the best high schools in the state. Cyprus Bay High and Pompano Beach High are just two of the many award-winning high schools in the district. Tutors in Sunrise, FL, might give you a boost through flexible online tutoring and help with test prep when you are attending an award-winning high school with challenging curriculum. There are also a large number of private high schools and magnet schools in the area, but many are very selective. An enthusiastic Sunrise tutor is eager to help you in your private test prep instruction, whether the tutoring session is in-home or online, to help you try to improve your chances of getting into a selective school.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
This was a first session with the student. We reviewed sections 5.1 and 7.1 of her text for a quiz the next day. We also completed practice problems together to understand how the student approaches the questions. Finally, we began to go over the material for an upcoming lecture on measuring variance in binomial statistics. The student has the full capacity to understand the material. She asks good questions and can get correct solutions with a little help. The student's target is to maintain a B average or above for the semester. Each session we will review her course notes and the text to ensure comprehension. Going forward we will continue to work on identifying the conceptual problem addressed in the practice problems as she has a tendency to apply fixed methods of problem solving. Maintaining her focus on the "big picture" concepts and providing assistance with homework and test prep in order to maintain the target grade will be our primary focus.

This was my first session with the student. He wanted to review for his chapter test tomorrow. We went over his review sheets until he was comfortable doing factoring, and I tried pointing out some hints when I could. We ended with doing the word problems towards the end and used his graphing calculator to answer those questions. I asked him to complete the problems we didn't go over.

We covered concepts related to finding the vertex of a parabola, as well as learning how to graph them by hand. We also worked on how to use the calculator to find points on the parabola.

The student has a test next week before we meet again, so we spent this session reviewing the concepts of chapter 6. We spent the majority of the time going over plotting points on the coordinate plane, drawing lines to connect them, and then finding the length, width, and area of the resulting rectangle or square. He told me he had a difficult time doing those problems, so we walked slowly through about 5 of them. These sorts of problems require applying nearly all of the major concepts of this chapter (manipulating integers, absolute values, understanding area, understanding plotting), so this was a very good way to generally go over test subjects. I was impressed that he kept asking to do "one more problem until I'm sure I understand." We then spent a little time going over how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa. He understands how to use the equations, he just needs to memorize them before his test. These problems require that he understands order of equations, the distributive property and the commutative property. I was happy to hear that he got a 92 on his last quiz, and I think if he just takes his time on this test he will do equally as well.
