Spring 2020
Amari made an A for the first semester in her Algebra I class and has been accepted into the IB program in her High School. She was resourceful with remote learning by networking with others in her class and using other sites to learn the material. She is one to accept challenges and excel. Amazing!
Nicollette has been meeting for just a few weeks and has developed a new normal of getting 100's on her tests and quizzes for Algebra I!! Her confidence is building and she has great potential. Way to go Nicollette!
Mike made a commitment to work on his College Algebra class and it paid off. He made a A on his first test!! We meet weekly and he is engaged and willing to tackle the tough problems. Yay Mike!
John reached out to me for a test review and made a 90 on the Chapter 2 College Algebra test on Quadratics!! He caught on quickly and took extensive notes to help him understand the concepts. Terrific job, John.
Zach made a 93.75 on his Chapter 2 Quadratic Functions test in College Algebra!! He reached out for tutoring because he wasn't happy with his grade in the class so far. We met several time to work on his online homework and he quickly picked up each concept then he made this happen. Wonderful work!
Nicolette made 90 on her test on exponential functions in Algebra I. It is still an A!! We'll take that. Super job!!
Daniella made an 80 on her Calculus I class. Lots if derivative (Chain Rule and trig functions) and implicit derivatives. Tough test. Way to go.
Abby is taking College Algebra and we meet every week to work on homework assignments. She made an 83 on her first test, 80 on the second and has a solid B in the class. To study she looked over her homework and did similar question with the online assignments. Terrific work!
Jeremy is taking College Algebra and he got a 81 on his last test on Polynomials and Rational functions. He crammed and studied and watched Mathtv and worked homework lots of time. He put in a lot of time doing math because he never took Algebra 1. SUPER!!
Koma is taking Business Calculus. We met as I was putting up new posters and he took one of the tabs. The second time we met we worked review problems for his test on Maximums, Minimums and Concavity. Koma is motivated, engaged, fun to work will and he made an 80 on his test. Awesome knowing you and being part of your success. Great work!!!
Jeff is taking College Algebra. He made 100 on his first test and 97.5 on his midterm. His class meets once a week, for 4 hours on Saturday. 4 hours of Math!!! What a great accomplishment!!!
Arari has a B for her first quarter grade. She worked very hard for this grade. We meet every week and she is always open to suggestions. Last year she had a C in math, but this year because of this B she now qualifies for the Honor Society. Excellent improvement and congratulation!!
Lauren made a 95 on her College Algebra test. This Chapter 3 test was tough. Lots of parts to memorize and then put together. She wants to be an engineer, so her objective is to not just pass the class, but learn the material so she can pursue a new career. This attitude changes everything. Way to go Lauren!!
Riley made an 86 on her Finite Math test. This is an unusual class. This test was on 4 chapters!!! This was on elections and voting systems, divider methods, apportionment - Jefferson, Hamilton and Adam's methods. Lots of memorizing. She got a B with the help of her tutor (me) and went over and over and over the problems. Yay Riley!!
Abby made a B on her Chapter 3 College Algebra Test. This was a complicated test with lots to memorize. Polynomials, finding zeros using Descarte, synthetic division, rational zeros (p/q), rational functions with vertical, horizontal and oblique asymptote and graphing. To study she reviewed her homework problems on MyMathLab by doing similar problems. Her recommendation is to study a lot!!
Lauren made another 100 on her second College Algebra test at USF!! This is a monumental task. She works hard and is so much fun to help. As we continue to meet we have so much fun tackling the pitfalls on MyMathLab and her efforts to learn a new way to look at mathematics. Math is all about learning the rules and applying them. Lauren has mastered that. Way to go!!!!
Lauren made 100 on her first College Algebra test at USF. This is extremely hard to do. The tests are on the computer and if the notation is wrong (for example if you type in (2.3) instead of (2,3) for a coordinate) the answer is wrong). She is following my How to Succeed in Math by doing the problems in the text, as well as, the MyMathLab assignments. It pays off!!! Excellent Lauren!!!
Amari made a 94 on her first test of the year. She is in the 7th grade and taking PreAlgebra. We worked together during the summer and it really paid off. We were able to tackle some complicated Algebra this summer, so she is way ahead of her classmates. Way to go Amari!!
Lauren made 100 on her first College Algebra quiz and homework assignment. She is Pre Engineering at USF and has a great future with those grades. This doesn't come easy, but she is willing to put in the work to accomplish her goals. Good work Lauren!!

Fall 2018
Joe Aced the final exam and made an A in Business Calculus.
Emily made a 90 on the final exam and made an A- in College Algebra.
Joe made a 96 on his last Business Calculus test. This test covered integrals, integration by substitution and partial derivatives - tough topics. Joe put in the time to learn these concepts and excelled to the point he lead a class session and taught others what he had learned. This is a major accomplishment for anyone, but since Joe is returning to school after a military career, he is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!
Ainsley made an A for the first 9 weeks grading period. Her next test is on slopes, graphing and sequences. We are hoping for another A. She is mind-blowing in math.

Tina made 100 on her first quiz (on trig identities) of the new quarter. Great way to start!!! She made an A for the first quarter. This year is much better than last year. Math is again her favorite subject. Formidable!!!!
Michelle made 100!!!! on her PreCalculus test. This is doubly (quadrouply!) awesome since she is repeating the class because of a lack of success last spring. She is following my plan for success and was determined to make 100. (Remember she was disappointed with a 97 on a previous test.) Stupendous!!
Emily made a 91 on her College Algebra test!!! She is determined to get that A!! Tough course, but she is studying hard and making the grade. Wonderful!!1
Joe made a B on his Business Calculus test. This test showed that he has a great understanding of the first few chapters on derivatives and now knows how to apply these concepts. Besides learning Calculus, he spent time on a site I recommended learning some Algebra - specifically factoring. This was time well spent. Great work Joe!!! MARVELOUS!!!!
Kelsey made a B on her College Algebra test. As a freshman, she is starting to get used to the pace in college and making great progress. Marvelous start to a college career!!!
Daniella made an A on her second Statistics test on confidence intervals!!! The average was a C. This was her best birthday gift ever. Magnificent!!!
Tina made a 94 on a retake test from her Trig class and 104 on the test graphing trig functions. She continues to do great work!!

Orlagh made a B on her last AP PreCalculus test. These chapters at the end of the book are difficult and Orlagh continues to master the concepts - some like vectors, she does better than I. Great Work!!!
Miranda made an 88 on her Engineering Calculus final exam. Engineering Calculus is the most difficult Calculus course at USF and Miranda came through with flying colors. Terrific!!
Jake made a 94.5 on his PreCalculus final exam!!!! - all of this without ever taking College Algebra. He worked really hard and was determined to bring his solid B up to an AB and he did it!!! STUPENDOUS!!
Lance made a 90 on his IB Algebra 2 test. Now has a very solid B in the class. YEAH!!!!
Jake made an 85 on his PreCalculus test. This gives him a solid B going into the final. Hopefully the final will get him into the AB range (100 on homework). Study hard!!!
