Week 11

This week I spent approximately 2.5 hours with student going over functions (Fx) in algebra and a little in bit of contemporary studies. Learning sessions took place while at home with minimal distractions. The tutoring took place over 2 different sessions M and TR.

Student was starting to understand the concept of functions and was making good progress with his homework. I believe that every study session we hold works in correlation with multiple intelligence; helping the student retain what they have learned. We have always worked on ways to understand a problem vs. memorizing it for a specific test. By working on retaining he has been able to go back and reflect on other problems and rationalize and understand how he came to a solution.

I feel confident that the student does not try to memorize anymore, but rather uses a hands on approach to solving problems and then reworking the problem in order to understand it in a clearer sense. What I could improve on is maybe trying each of the eight intelligences, to see if there is one that benefits him more.

I really didn’t run into any challenges with this session. I believe that student is more confident and understands more now that before his techniques and strategies to understand and complete homework.
