Session Summaries by Tutors

"The student worked on his algebra homework. This consisted of graphing and table or chart comparisons. He did very well and is self motivated. We spent a brief time on biology, plant and animal cells. Lastly, we reviewed his literacy novel "Speak". He was given a graphic organizer for his writing assignments; specifically "How to Paragraph". I have a copy of his schedule and teacher names. He was a pleasure to work with."

"Tonight we looked at using the quadratic formula and discriminant in order to determine the number of solutions to an equation and solve for them. The student expressed to me that she feels highly confident with her grasp on concepts, but asked that we work more on graphing and determining a vertex and axis of symmetry using the calculator. We also spent time revisiting various methods of solving equations that include simple algebraic isolation of X through steps, through identifying X-intercepts (zeros), as well as the use of the quadratic formula. She has maintained a high A and continues to bring home high As on homework and quizzes. Her confidence level and self-motivation continue to dominate though her approach to her work. "

"The student has been apparently doing well. He reports that he got an A on his trig test. He has now moved on to statistics. We worked through a quiz review today over different types of sampling techniques, whether they are biased, and how to calculate the margin of error. The review also covered experimental design. He seemed well versed in all of these topics."

"The student had a test returned that if she corrected it, she would receive points back. She did much better and even her teacher wrote "much improved" on this test. We went over the questions she missed including plotting parabolic equations (especially issues with negative number coordinates), and the difference between linear, quadratic, and exponential equations. We also reviewed solving exponential equations. "

"We reviewed reading homework: identifying subjects, verbs, and adverbs. We also worked on state capitols."

"The student and I covered applying the unit circle, finding associative angles with values on that circle. Her struggles go strictly with applying what she knows. I think she grasps the material; she just needs to work at it. She wants to honestly just get through it. She understands the material. I showed her how to quickly find the tangent value on the unit circle. She had a lot of practice problems to go over from her class. I can definitely tell she understands, and she's getting faster at her computing."

"We covered graphing parabolic equations and finding the vertex of a parabola. The student is quite adept at understanding how to graph these equations; she just needs some practice! I provided her with some notes on how to think about graphing for future reference."

"Today, the student and I spent the beginning of the session reading from his book, "Flat Stanley." After he had finished a chapter and a half and had begun to lose interest, we changed gears to go over the 'r' syllables that he was working on in school at the moment. We reviewed the pronunciation of these and common words that feature them and also reviewed several of his recent worksheets and spelling exercises."

"We continued to concentrate on conversational English dialogues for many different life situations. I gave needed grammatical support and explained certain vocabulary and did modeling of reading when needed. Then, I listened to stories the students wrote about their favorite topics, like a free write. I corrected them and gave suggestions on how to use better sentence structure and more dynamic language."

"We met on Saturday and covered pre-algebra topics for Student 1. This was a good review for Student 2, who is also beginning algebra this year. We discussed how to multiply, add and subtract negatives, and the associative and commutative properties of numbers and applied them to negative numbers. At the end of the session I paired up to the students compete against me to get problems done on time. They worked very well together and worked hard to explain concepts to each other. Their attitudes were wonderful through this session. They know they are covering new material that is ahead of where they are now, and they did a good job working to understand it. We are going to review again on Wednesday and push ahead to some more new math. Our goals are to get them ahead of their class and potentially advance them each a year in math at some point. "

"The student and I completed his Statistics study guide today, practicing linear regressions, confidence intervals, and some more hypothesis testing. After completing the guide, we also did some work preparing his formula sheet for the exam before parting ways. "
