Prangna - About your AP tutor
Mathematics is not everyone cup of coffee and I consider myself to be blessed as I have been teaching this particular subject to students from the last 11-12years. In general, students also Students hesitate in doing this particular subject. Taking about my qualification, I have done Bachelors in Non-medical and masters in mathematics from a renowned university. I have great interest in science, especially mathematics as it is all about dealing with numbers. Professionally I have taught in a college as an Associate professor and currently working as a freelancer tutor, helping students in making them understand different concepts of mathematics, clearing their doubts. So far, I am making all the possible efforts to increase students inclination towards mathematics

Teaching methodology
Mathematics is not a theoretical subject, so sometimes I make use of power point presentations and videos to explain a particular concept. As I believe visuals have more impactful, and this aid in better understanding than listening. Moreover, I plan my sessions keeping in mind a student's requirements and targets. Some students require more practise and more attention towards certain topics, so sessions are planned according to their pace. My priority is to have an interactive session in which a student asks multiple questions , clears one’s doubts . This ensures that pupil is able to understand in a better way. Also, I make sure that a student gets proper attention and is willing to learn more. My main teaching methodology is to increase students inclination towards this subject and remove their fear of mathematics. Apart from this, I am also helping students in completing their assignments and homework. They are able to complete their work assessments within the given time period

AP concepts taught by Prangna
The session focused on GMAT Quantitative Reasoning, specifically covering fundamental concepts of Ratios and Probability. The Student practiced various problem-solving techniques for ratio equations, word problems, and probability scenarios including 'with' and 'without replacement' events. The Tutor plans to send practice questions for homework before the next session.
Understanding Ratios: Definition & Representation
Solving Ratio Problems: Algebraic Approach
Probability Fundamentals: Chances of an Event
Probability with Multiple Conditions: 'Or' vs. 'And'
Probability with Multiple Draws: Replacement vs. No Replacement
The Student and Tutor reviewed logarithmic differentiation and then delved into a new topic: derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions. The Student practiced numerous problems applying these derivative formulas, including the critical use of the chain rule and solving for the equation of a tangent line. Two follow-up sessions are scheduled for next Monday and Wednesday to prepare for an upcoming test.
Derivatives of Inverse Sine & Cosine Functions
Finding the Equation of a Tangent Line
General Derivative of Inverse Functions
Derivatives of Inverse Secant & Cosecant Functions
Derivatives of Inverse Tangent & Cotangent Functions
Logarithmic Differentiation
The Student and Tutor reviewed foundational geometry concepts, including definitions of collinear, coplanar, and intersecting lines, along with several key geometric postulates. They applied these principles to determine the truthfulness of statements and practiced constructing proofs for segment congruence. The session concluded with a detailed review and practice of solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.

The session focused on advanced calculus topics, including implicit differentiation, second derivatives of implicit functions, and derivatives of inverse functions using both algebraic and table-based methods. The Student practiced applying various derivative rules and formulas, including for the equation of tangent lines. They plan to cover inverse trigonometric derivatives in their next class on Thursday.
Implicit Differentiation
Equation of the Tangent Line (Implicit Functions)
Derivatives of Inverse Functions
Logarithmic Differentiation
The session centered on practicing arithmetic skills, including multi-digit multiplication and multi-step percentage calculations. The Student then engaged in an interactive math game to reinforce number sense and strategic addition. The class ended with a plan to continue learning in the next session.
Combining Percentage Calculations
Interactive Number Puzzles for Addition
Calculating Percentages of Numbers
Multi-Digit Multiplication & Missing Factors
The Student and Tutor conducted a comprehensive final review session for the ACT Math section, working through numerous practice questions. They covered a broad range of topics including algebra, geometry, statistics, probability, and unit conversions. The Tutor advised the Student to continue practicing and to ensure adequate rest before the upcoming exam.
