Thea - Know your tutor
I am Thea Maestrecampo, with over 5 years of experience teaching Mathematics. My expertise covers from elementary to middle school math such as basic math, pre - algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability, statistics, pre - calculus, and even basic calculus. I always prioritize my students' personalized learning experience such gamification and math tricks. Of course, I also consider the parent's request such as improvement of grades, homework help, mastering math concepts, and preparation for exams - even advancing them. I always include assessing the student first, giving them practice drills with math tricks along the way, and making sure they appreciate the lesson and enjoying the class as well. I also worked with students who had different learning needs that includes difficulty in learning attention, comprehension, and processing information. With these experiences, I learned how to break down the tasks into smaller and manageable parts, used simple instructions, and incorporated interactive tools online to help them understand the Math concept even better. Overall, all of these experiences strengthened my ability to be emphatic, creative, and student - centered. Now, I value inclusivity and student - centered learning.

Mathematics concepts taught by Thea
The Student and Tutor worked on understanding and applying concepts related to parallel and perpendicular lines in algebra. They practiced finding equations of parallel lines, graphing linear equations, and identifying relationships between pairs of lines by analyzing their slopes and y-intercepts. The Tutor also discussed the importance of the Student informing them about upcoming tests for better preparation.
Finding Parallel Lines Through a Point
Converting Equations to Slope-Intercept Form
Understanding Negative Reciprocal Slopes
Identifying Parallel
Perpendicular
or Neither Lines
Graphing Linear Equations (y = mx + b)
The Student and Tutor focused on writing equations for parallel and perpendicular lines and graphing linear equations. They reviewed the definitions of parallel and perpendicular slopes, practiced using the point-slope formula, and worked on plotting equations by identifying the y-intercept and applying the rise-over-run concept. The Student was assigned homework to find and graph parallel and perpendicular lines for a given equation and point.
Parallel Lines and Slopes
Perpendicular Lines and Slopes
Writing Linear Equations: Point-Slope Form
Graphing Linear Equations: y = mx + b
The Student and Tutor worked on various geometry topics, starting with angle relationships formed by parallel and perpendicular lines. They practiced solving problems to find unknown values and completed parts of a two-column proof. The session concluded with an introduction to and application of the distance formula between two points.
Distance Formula between Two Points
Alternate Exterior Angles
Introduction to Two-Column Geometric Proofs
Perpendicular and Parallel Lines with Transversals
Solving for Unknown Variables in Geometry
The session focused on fundamental geometry theorems, including the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem and the Exterior Angle Theorem. The Tutor guided the Student through two-column proofs for both theorems and provided several practice problems for finding missing angles in various geometric figures. The next class is scheduled for Thursday, and the Student was encouraged to bring any upcoming quizzes or homework for assistance.
Triangle Angle Sum Theorem
Fundamental Angle Relationships
Two-Column Proofs in Geometry
Exterior Angle Theorem
The Student and Tutor practiced solving geometry problems involving angle relationships and two-column proofs. They reviewed definitions of different angle types and applied properties like linear pairs, corresponding angles, alternate interior/exterior angles, and the transitive/substitution properties to complete proofs. The Tutor also discussed a potential schedule change for future sessions.
Algebraic Methods for Solving Angle Problems
Properties of Equality for Proofs
Two-Column Geometric Proofs
Linear Pairs and Vertical Angles
Parallel Lines and Transversals: Angle Relationships
Student and Tutor reviewed the concepts of exponential and logarithmic functions, including their definitions, characteristic graphs, and the influence of various parameters. The Student practiced solving different types of exponential and logarithmic equations. The session concluded with an introduction to logarithmic properties, with a plan to review the change of base rule later.
Fundamental Logarithmic Properties
Solving Logarithmic Equations
Logarithmic Functions: Inverse & Graphs
Solving Exponential Equations
