Hi, everyone,
We hope you had an amazing week! Session volume continues to increase and we are optimizing the scheduled hours to match the demand. Please read through the rest of this post for examples of science problems that tutors should help students with and some helpful reminders. Thank you for the excellent work!
Science Problems
There have been a few sessions in the past few weeks where students brought science questions where they needed help with the math content (manipulating equations etc). If a student brings a science question please ask if the student needs help with the math portion of the problem before stating that we do not cover the content. Below is an example of a question where the content is science but the student needed math help.
In this example, because the formulas are given, the problem is essentially a word problem that requires little to no knowledge of physics to solve. In this situation, asking the student what they are struggling with (conceptual vs. procedural) is important prior to ending the session.
