Westminster is a small city in Maryland with approximately 19,000 people. Westminster is the county seat of Carroll County. The city was originally called "Winchester," named for William Winchester in the 18th century, until it later changed to Westminster because Winchester was already a name for the county seat of Frederick County, Virginia.
The town runs two high schools under the Carroll County Public School District. Westminster High School is the oldest and largest High School in the school district. It also offers the county's BEST (Building Excellent Scientists for Tomorrow) program. Westminster is also home to McDaniel College, a private four-year liberal arts post-secondary institution. U.S. News and World Reports lists it as one of the best liberal arts colleges in the United States. These top schools might be ones you could attend if you reach out to private tutors in Westminster, MD, for tutoring either in-home or online, to receive subject instruction or test prep.
Westminster residents love art festivals. Two of their most popular ones are Art in the Park and Common Ground on the Hill. Art in the Park is where you can glimpse at arts and crafts works created by local and regional artists. If you have children along with you, let them tune into their inner artists by having them take part in a free craft activity. The festival also has live music and a small food court. Common Ground on the Hill features arts and crafts and entertainers that perform music genres like bluegrass, Celtic, Americana, and more. This festival lasts two days, so you can set up camp there to sleep overnight since it also provides camping space. Visit the Carroll County Farm Museum, a museum dedicated to preserving rural culture and history. You can tour the seven-room farmhouse and look at the farm animals, aka "Farmyard Friends."

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
We spent today's session reviewing a handful of Algebra II assignments, including topics in absolute inequalities, linear equations and associated word problems. The student was a bit wary of the material at first, but as we went through them and talked things out, she felt much more comfortable with approaching the questions.
We reviewed a couple of assignments and started going through her test on algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities. Since we were running out of time, we focused on the more difficult/unfamiliar problems so that the student could attempt the rest of the test on her own. We will continue on tomorrow.
Though she is uncomfortable with the material at first, as she is guided through a concept, she develops a stronger grasp of how to think about certain problems. With extra practice, she will be better off when she has to do homework on her own.

In this session, we reviewed his recent polynomial quiz which covered topics such as factoring, word problems including systems of equations, and distribution. Although the student knows all of this material very well, he struggled on this test. After reviewing his work, it seems like test-taking anxiety was the biggest issue for him. Seeing as it was the first math exam of the year, he felt a lot of stress and pressure on the exam, which negatively impacted his performance. After going through the problems again with him, he was able to answer them correctly, given that he was not in a stressful setting. To help alleviate this issue, he and I will begin to work on simulating test-like conditions for some of our sessions together. He will surely benefit from getting more practice in a test-like setting, so that he doesn't feel as much pressure on his actual exams. After reviewing his exam, we then moved to his homework, which consisted of complex factoring of second-degree polynomials with large coefficients. Although this was challenging for him at the start, we reviewed the main strategy to employ and he picked it up very fast. Of the ~25 problems he had for homework, he was able to complete about 20 of them in about 30 minutes, which is a pretty fast rate already. He was very visibly pleased with his progress, and after assuring him that his exam performance will help him learn how to improve, he seemed to take a more positive tone on his experience. I look forward to helping him build on this experience, and I know he has the potential to hit his stride much like he did last year.

During our session, we worked on factoring quadratic equations where the leading coefficient is not one. The student had a fairly strong grasp of the concept to begin with, so we spent a majority of the lesson learning the various ways to use a graphing calculator to check answers for this type of problem.

The student and I went over limits. The problems by nature are tough and require a cleverness to solve them. We talked about the overall concept of limits, which he is beginning to grasp. We struggled on the algebra a bit. I advised him to make sure to write it down as using paper may make the algebra appear more clear.

The student and I had a great day. We are almost done with the 1st grade word problem book. We started practicing measuring objects around the house with a ruler and tape measure. He was taught how to distinguish centimeters, inches, and feet. We went around the house, and I asked him to find objects below 12 inches and objects above 12 inches. He had a lot of fun, and I believe measuring objects will give him more interest in a career that focuses on these skills (ie. architecture). I would not be surprised if he measured objects the entire day.
