Award-Winning Private Accounting Tutoring in Virginia

"The student had taken a practice exam for the math section, so she had a clear idea of the concepts she needed to work on. Her parents had helped her with some concepts. We spent the session going over how to translate percentage word problems into math, and we also went over other types of word problems. "

"Today her homework covered simple interest. We've covered this before, so it was mostly a matter of reviewing how to apply the formula to word problems. She also tends to make simple errors when converting her percents to decimals, so I made sure to make her practice doing that a few times."

"The student has an exam on Tuesday. We reviewed mean, median, mode, and outliers. Our main focus was on integers - multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. We reviewed the use of the number line, the tic tac toe board and the order of operations. The student is prepared for his exam."

"We covered the topic of depreciation. The student said that the next test would be on a certain four chapters, so we went through the first one. He pretty much had no prior knowledge of depreciation. I explained the various depreciation terms to him such as accumulated depreciation and book value. As I walked him through the problems, he came to understand the formulas and was subsequently able to work them on his own. There were some small mathematical and classification errors, but he understood the overall concept. He said there had not yet been an in class lecture on the topic, so he should be good going into it. He still had a few more homework problems to do, which should give him some practice on his own."
