Session Summaries by Tutors

"The student had one new worksheet since our last session on Tuesday. We went through it together, but he had correctly answered almost all of the questions. The only mistakes he made were from answering questions too quickly, and I cautioned him to take his time. Their class is still working on exponents, which we talked through pretty thoroughly on Tuesday. He has a quiz tomorrow covering exponents, so I had prepared some practice questions. The questions covered: writing expressions in exponent and standard form, calculating values of exponents, identifying the base and exponent values, writing an expression for a geometric series, and solving a word problem involving exponents (interest on money). He did very well with each concept, and I am confident he will do well on his quiz tomorrow. With our remaining time, I introduced the student to scientific notation. This built upon his knowledge of exponents, so he picked it up fairly quickly. We are meeting again on Tuesday and Thursday next week."

"We spent the session reviewing linear equations. First, we started with word problems using graphic representations. Then, we looked at a short practice worksheet the student was given by her professor. We reviewed how to determine whether a point is on a given line by substituting the X and Y values into the equation. Finally, we spent the remaining time working on finding the unit rate and/or slope of the line. We reviewed the formula for finding the slope using two given points, and then practiced it using point, graph, and word problem examples. The student will have another test next Wednesday, and we will meet on Tuesday to continue preparing for it."

"Today, we reviewed the critical reading sections that were previously assigned. The student has made noticeable improvements in her critical reading analysis skills. The bulk of today's session was dedicated to writing: locating/ isolating grammatical mistakes in sentences. We reviewed several of the most common mistakes found in the SAT. We worked together on some examples and the student also worked independently on a few sections. Next week will be our last session and will be devoted to writing the 25 minute essay. Time permitting, we will also do a complete SAT review. "

"We mostly went over the student's grades and found out what he has missing and what he needs to turn in/study for this week. I also had him build a list of things to ask his teachers about certain assignments that were not inputted into the online garbed. We then started going over his geometry, as he has a test this week. I am planning to bring more practice problems to our next session."

"We reviewed material for a precalculus take-home exam--polar form of complex numbers, DeMoivre's theorem, finding nth roots of complex numbers, word problems involving the binomial theorem, graphing trigonometric functions, and creating trigonometric models from word problems. I recommended that the student focus on the trigonometry problems and to practice the steps in converting complex numbers to polar form; she was comfortable with the binomial theorem."

"We reviewed the student's last test before the break. He made avoidable mistakes and did not read the questions carefully. We went over his missed problems, and he is going to focus on working through his exams more carefully. We are working on a geometry unit with quadrilaterals. We had to find missing angle when given 3 of the angles, we had to classify quadrilaterals based on the information given, and we had to draw quadrilaterals based on information given. I recommended to him to focus and be more careful with his work."

"The student and I prepared for his upcoming midterm by going over his study guide and reviewing some of his previous test material. Specifically, we covered inequalities, absolute value expressions, and scatter plots. He has a very positive attitude and is willing to learn which is great! He just needs things explained to him in a way that he understands which is a service I am glad that I am able to provide for him. Next session, we plan on going over functions since that is the material he is most worried about at this point. He now understands how to evaluate absolute value expressions and graph them on a number line. He also now comprehends how to decipher scatter plots when given tabulated data. Lastly, he understands the conditions where one would reverse the inequality sign in an inequality expression. We made some big improvements and I would dub this session a win!"

"The student brought an essay that the teacher graded and offered her to complete a rewrite. We worked on correcting and revising this essay. We also discussed plans for studying for her upcoming midterm exams."

"In today's session, the student worked on percentage word problems, which helped to clear the confusion she had in her class. She also practiced converting fractions into decimals and then turning them into percentages. HW was assigned on these topics."

"The student had four multiple-choice tests to answer from the computer with 10 questions each. We reviewed these tests, and got a feel of her strengths and weaknesses. She demonstrated strength in questions regarding graphing, slopes, slope-intercept-form equations, equations with square roots, and identifying functions. However, some concepts that still need to be worked on include factoring, scientific notation, and word problems with direct and inverse variations. During the session, she was cooperative, and showed interest in learning. In the end of the session, a study guide was given for the student to review during any free time."

"Today the student and I continued to study for her upcoming chemistry exam, focusing on nuclear chemistry and properties of transition metals. However, we spent most of our time working through more probability problems in her pre-calculus course. The problems covered a variety of probability concepts, and she continued to show proficiency in most problems. "
