Experienced Science Tutor: Interactive Learning for Students with Practical Applications in Mind

Sanjana tutored Andrew on polynomial division, finding zeros of polynomial functions (using the rational zero theorem, synthetic division, and factoring), and solving polynomial inequalities. She provided step-by-step explanations and examples, focusing on techniques like handling remainders, constant factors, and interval notation for inequalities. They also discussed scheduling future sessions.

Sanjana and Andrew reviewed composite functions, parallel and perpendicular lines, and circles. Andrew practiced finding the equation of a circle by completing the square to determine the center and radius. They plan to meet again to cover more concepts before Andrew's test.

Sanjana Mediboyina tutored Andy on quadratic equations, arithmetic sequences, and polynomial/rational inequalities. Andy worked through practice problems, and Sanjana explained the concepts and problem-solving strategies, including graphing inequalities to check solutions. Sanjana will send Andy additional practice problems, and they will schedule another session to continue working on these topics.

Sanjana and Haroon worked through a physics problem involving Newton's laws, inclined planes, and a pulley system. They focused on drawing free body diagrams and deriving equations for acceleration and tension, but encountered a discrepancy in their calculations. Sanjana will review the problem and explain it further in the next session, where they will also cover incline plane/pulley problems and impulse/momentum; Haroon will send related questions in advance.

Sanjana and Andrew worked on factoring quadratic expressions and applying the quadratic formula to solve equations. Andrew practiced using the quadratic formula and worked through problems from a worksheet. They scheduled another session for Sunday to continue working on these concepts.

Sanjana tutored Andrew, reviewing inverse functions, solving linear and square root equations, and introducing quadratic equations using both the quadratic formula and factoring methods. Andrew practiced problems from his textbook, and Sanjana assigned worksheets on factoring and quadratic expressions for homework. They scheduled a follow-up session on Friday to review the homework and potentially cover polynomial division.
