Recent Syracuse Tutoring Session Notes

Tutoring review by Jonathan in Syracuse, NY
Today we covered mostly SAT factoring problems. We spent a good deal of time talking about testing strategy. The student is fast enough that he can check his answers with his extra time. So in addition to practice problems, we talked about how he can confirm his answers with his extra time. Also, we spoke about very difficult problems which may be saved until the end, or skipped completely if he finds uncovering errors is a better use of his time to maximize his score. I stressed to him the importance of practice tests and mimicking the actual test as much as possible. By doing even small sections, we should start to identify patterns that will help us evaluate the best strategies and where to concentrate our efforts to help him get the best score come test day. In the next lesson we will work on some probability, some compounding interest, a bit more factoring review, and exponents and radicals.

Tutoring review by Laura in Syracuse, NY
We discussed some strategies for grammar and writing sections and he did a test essay. We then graded his essay and talked about ways to improve (giving more specific and detailed examples, being a bit more careful with watching spelling and grammar). For homework the student is going to complete a whole test that I will send him by this evening. I do not require that he completes a whole test at once but he can take sections over the week. He understands that he will probably take 2 to 3 sections every day and that will result in him only having to work on the test for about three or four days of the week. I will send him a reminder on Sunday to work on these sections. Finally, all sections of the test should be timed as if he were taking the test on the day. He will grade them and then make a list of concepts we need to cover in the next meeting.

Tutoring review by Daniel in Syracuse, NY
The student's homework focused on solving equations that use absolute values. I was a little concerned because he didn't know how absolute values work. I was able to show him a method for solving absolute values, but he probably still needs more time to really understand the concept of absolute values and how they work. I was very encouraged that he is getting better at solving basic equations on his own. After getting warmed up he was able to solve many of the equations on his own. Each week he seems to be more confident, and quicker at solving equations, and he makes fewer mistakes.

Tutoring review by Maria in Syracuse, NY
The student worked on completing homework. She then spent the rest of the session writing a personal narrative using an organizational tool to brainstorm her ideas. She worked on adding details and transitional words at the beginning of the sentences.
