Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"The student took a test recently, getting all of the questions correct that were on the current content. We spent the entire session going over old material in preparation for her final exam. Specifically, we covered adding and subtracting polynomials (both factorable and non-factorable examples). We also discussed the rules of exponents."

"We covered topics such as constitutional and geometric isomerism, polarity, bond angles, cis/trans isomers, and organic functional groups during this session. We also completed several problems that the student provided on her own, as well as lecture material which was provided by me. Overall, she had the greatest difficulty at first with determining cis/trans isomers and polarity (dependent on determining the net dipole moment of the molecular). However as we kept working through multiple examples, she appeared to understand these concepts to a greater degree and was more comfortable in tackling the later problems near the tail end of our session. Overall, I believe that she still needs greater work in these questions prior to her test on Monday and we will meet on Sunday to do some last-minute practice."

"The student and I checked in on her progress. She is finding the flashcards and word roots useful for vocabulary. She is also doing well with the main idea and detail based reading comprehension questions. The inferences and sentence equivalence question types are still giving her difficulty. We practiced finding the argument and evidence in newspaper articles, then we practiced making inferences on them. In the review book, we ran through sentence equivalence practice drills, and we also practiced only the inference question types. We reviewed questions from her prep course."

"The student and I worked on an assessment that I administered for her level of math. This was previously discussed with her mother. We had time to go over her discrepancies and work through problems that she had a hard time with. I will be coming up with lesson plans for future sessions based on this which will be dynamic as her needs will of course change as we continue to work. At the end of the session we did 1 homework problem which dealt with creating linear lines with specific givens."

"Tonight, we finished reviewing for the student's pre-calc final tomorrow. We finished off the select problems from his study guide covering a wide variety of topics. These included solving exponential equations using log functions, solving population growth equations, utilizing properties of logarithms to simplify expressions, trig word problems, evaluating exact values of trig functions, and graphing trig and other functions. Overall, I was primarily there to check his work as he was able to solve all the problems on his own. His confidence has improved dramatically since last week. The final thing we re-reviewed from last session was quadratic functions and maximizing these functions. I reminded him to come up with two equations and then combine them to only have a single variable to solve for, and he was able to work from there. "

"We went over new material for triangles. We used online problems that compared triangles and how they are similar by angles and sides; this also brought in the angle rule we went over last week. It was a lot of information to cover, but I feel like the student got a pretty good grasp on it. She should continue to bring any tests or quizzes she completes so that we can review them together and see how she is progressing. "

"Today, the student and I worked on exponents, radicals, and natural logs. He definitely understands what he's doing and why he's doing it; he just occasionally makes a few little mistakes that he catches pretty quickly. We will continue to work on that. "

"The student's parents and I met and I presented the applicable course material and explained how I would work with the student to help her with her school courses. I then showed her the books and the flashcards that I work with. She read the letters and short words very well. She was very excited. "

"We discussed the concepts of z-scores and the standard deviation of the mean. The student is struggling to understand the meaning behind the terms, or interpreting what her answers mean. I suggested exploring the meaning behind the answers, instead of focusing on just getting the right answer. She had practice questions available to continue with. She is going to try to provide me with class materials to facilitate tutoring sessions. She shows determination in learning concepts and always tried to solve problems before asking for help. She showed progress in being able to explain what a z-score is and being able to calculate a z-score confidently. "

"Today the student and I prepared him for his upcoming marine biology 2 in class quiz. He needs to bring his 68 to a 70 at least, and we definitely believe passing this upcoming quiz with an 80 or higher will achieve our goals. We read through the entire chapter 9, and created a study guide with definitions, which can carry over for the final. He is very good at remembering vocabulary, so I have high hopes he will do well. The following lesson will be spent reviewing the study guide and finishing Module 4 of his marine biology 1 online course. "

"The student worked on a review of a lot of math worksheets. He understood how to do volume of cuboids and prisms but got confused when the volume was given and he had to figure out one of the sides. He took it step by step and figured it out with some help, as he did with some of the figures where extra dimensions were given to test knowledge about finding proper base and height when calculating volume. He also did very well with the roots in his vocabulary book, completing three pages."
