Diverse SAT mentor and teacher excelling in multiple subjects. Experienced tailored support.

The Student and Tutor reviewed previously covered chemistry concepts, including empirical formula calculations. The main focus of the session was the introduction and calculation of molecular formula, with the Student practicing problems to differentiate between empirical and molecular formulas. Homework was assigned, consisting of reviewing examples, reading explanatory text, and completing exercises related to these topics, with a plan to review all concepts together in the next class before starting thermodynamics.

The student and tutor focused on mastering the expansion of cubic expressions, a prerequisite for differentiation. They practiced various expansion methods and applied them to problems, with the tutor providing guidance on common errors. The session concluded with a review of differentiation from first principles involving a cubic function.

The student and tutor reviewed concepts related to kinematics, focusing on interpreting velocity-time graphs to determine position-time graphs by calculating the area under the curve. They practiced describing motion (forward/backward, speeding up/slowing down) and calculated distance, displacement, average speed, and average velocity, discussing how to handle non-standard graph starting points.

The Tutor and Student reviewed foundational concepts of triangles, including angle sums and classifications. They practiced determining if a triangle is a right triangle using the distance and slope formulas, and solved algebraic problems involving angle and side measures. The next session will focus on proving triangle congruence, and homework was assigned on related topics.

The tutor and student reviewed mass-to-mole and mole-to-gram conversions, then delved into calculating empirical formulas. They practiced converting percentages to moles and determining element ratios, with the student working through examples. The session concluded with the student requesting syllabus information for an AP course.

The tutor and student reviewed differentiation using first principles, practicing the application of the derivative formula with polynomial functions. They also briefly discussed equations of lines and confirmed that trigonometric differentiation has not yet been covered. The student was assigned practice problems related to line equations and differentiation from first principles.
