Class overview
As a math tutor specializing in subjects such as Elementary School Math, Geometry, and SAT Math, I have developed a teaching style that emphasizes problem-solving, demonstration, and interactive learning. I believe in structuring our sessions systematically to focus on understanding concepts in detail. I also incorporate whiteboarding to help students visualize and interact with math concepts directly. Additionally, I provide short quizzes to master specific concepts and create tailored plans with interactive problems and visual tools to enhance learning. My goal is to make math engaging and easily understandable for students at all levels.

Mathematics concept taught by Cyntia
Kitty and Anna reviewed linear equations, including finding gradients, determining equations of straight lines, and finding intersection points. Anna also worked on finding the domain and range of linear functions with bounded lines. Anna will send Kitty her homework in advance for their next session on Wednesday.
Gradient (Slope) Calculation
Finding Unknowns with Gradient
Equation of a Straight Line
Point of Intersection
Domain and Range (Bounded Lines)
During a recent lesson, polynomial factorization was thoroughly reviewed, encompassing both quadratic and cubic polynomials. This preparation was crucial for the learner's upcoming SAT retake in Greensboro. The individual actively practiced factoring and sketching quadratic equations, and also worked on factorizing cubic polynomials using educated guessing and polynomial division. To reinforce these concepts, practice questions were assigned.
Quadratic Equations
Factorization
Parabolas
Polynomial Long Division
Turning Point
Kitty tutored Sean, focusing on polynomial factorization and algebraic fractions in preparation for the SAT. Sean practiced expanding polynomials, using the factor theorem, and adding algebraic fractions. They scheduled their next session for after Kitty's trip to Bali, with a plan to focus on trigonometry.
Polynomial Factor Theorem
Polynomial Division
Quadratic vs. Linear Factors
Adding Fractions with Algebraic Expressions
Factorizing x^2 - a^2
Commas
Semicolons
and Colons
Kitty tutored Susana on stoichiometry, covering mole ratios, molar mass calculations, and limiting reactants. Susana worked through several practice problems, including determining the limiting reactant in a reaction and calculating the mass of CO2 produced from burning C3H8. Kitty sent Susana a screenshot of a problem they worked on together.

Limiting Reactant
Molar Mass
Mole Concept
Balancing Chemical Equations
Stoichiometry
Kitty tutored Susana on geometry and trigonometry, focusing on cross-sections of 3D shapes and the application of sine and cosine rules to solve triangles. Susana practiced identifying appropriate formulas and rearranging equations to find unknown sides and angles. They scheduled a follow-up session for next Wednesday to continue practicing trigonometry.
Area of Non-Right Triangles
Cross-Sections of 3D Shapes
Sign Rule
Cosine Rule
Two-Dimensional Cross-Sections
Kitty tutored Marco, focusing on geometry problems involving area calculations of triangles and rectangles, as well as determining the surface area of a rectangular box. They also worked on simplifying and comparing algebraic expressions. They scheduled another session and discussed potentially pausing lessons over the summer.
