Certified Tutors From Bethel College-North Newton

I feel like the student and I got off to a good start. We spent the hour working through a few of his Physics problems on energy, work, force, and power. He struggled a little bit with remembering which of the chapter's equations were best suited for each problem, but this will improve with time. I also tried to explain some of the principles behind the problems, because students tend to better understand how to solve problems when they know why they are told to use such-and-such method in the first place. I am looking forward to working with him again next week.

Practiced integration by parts problems from assigned homework.  After working through the problems, the student seems to have a solid understanding of both integration by parts and u-substitution integration techniques.

Today I helped the student prepare for his biology six weeks exam. I helped him prepare an outline from the text book.

This was my second session with the student. We went over her math assignments for the week, and I received a list of her missing assignments for math and other classes. First priority is math, and we are working on getting caught up with all of those past due assignments.

Worked with the students on a variety of topics. Worked with Student 1 on helping to plan his course schedule for next year and on a project in History, and worked with Student 2 on another reading journal. Good session.

We concluded the ACT prep tutoring today by focusing on the essay-writing section and doing a quick review of writing multiple choice and reading. The student practiced identifying a position and creating a bubble map to lay out his argument. We discussed the different types of support he should use: reasons and evidence. He picked up the bubble map quickly. He should continue practicing with this technique and reviewing the other test sections and answer explanations. Great working with him!
