Thank you very much for guiding me regarding how to tutor , engage , and interact with the learners. These tips will be extremely helpful.

Learner · 13 hr. ago

You do a very good job in practicing the "I do" and "We do" strategies! Throughout the session, you consistently ask the learners how they would approach certain problems, and break down difficult problems in a way that they can approach it more easily. However, even with difficult problems, you try and guide them through the answer in a way where you aren't giving them the full solution, but helping them reach the solution on their own. This is clearly a very beneficial method! Also, you try to cold-call on learners, making sure they have a chance to share their ideas and processes, which is definitely great. You are also very good at adding onto the ideas of learners as well, in a way where you sort of summarize their process so it is easier for the rest of your learners to understand. Overall, really good job and keep it up!

You do a very good job of creating a comfortable learning environment! Especially as you started the meeting, welcoming all your learners by name, connecting with them by making small talk, and asking if they had any questions, all clearly built a very welcoming and comfortable learning environment. You are also very encouraging during the teaching portion as well, regardless of whether a learner gets a question right or wrong!

Tutor · 12 days ago

Patient with the learners, and also converses with them with natural conversation on non-SAT topics (the icebreaker).

Tutor · 14 days ago

Thank you for today's session. I'm really grateful for your help.

Learner · 2 mo. ago

thank you so much for today's session, Claire. I dealt with a lot of questions I used to find difficult today and made some silly mistakes but definitely learnt a lot.

Learner · 2 mo. ago

I liked how you called on learners to solve problems their way on the questions by asking them to come off mute and solve the problem. This introduces a new POV and voice in solving a problem that could benefit the other learners. You also complimented their answers, like for an example saying that Max did well on an explanation considering that two answer choices were very close to each other and could be used interchangeably; "That's a really good point, Max. Good work." You also asked further questions while the learners answered questions, which helped learners further understand their thought process and follow along with their problem-solving. "Good! What about d." Here, you asked a student about another answer choice that they may have glanced over in their explanation, but by you asking them to further elaborate on their reasoning it helps them study better and helps other students follow along. Good job

I liked how you started your session with asking learners how they were! This allows you and the learners to engage a little and create comfortable bonds before the session. You also gave a little bit of an overview of the session before it started which I liked to give your learners some heads up before so there is no surprises. Another thing that I liked that you did was asking your learners about other topics that they may want covered. This allows you to customize and tailor your sessions towards them. I also liked how you started conversations before the session while you were waiting for learners to join by asking, "Have you guys done anything interesting lately?"

Tutor · 2 mo. ago

She explains the background for the topic thoroughly and seems to know a lot about speciation. She also explains why she thinks the question was worded wrongly, and provides insight on what the correct wording and answer would be.

Tutor · 3 mo. ago

Thank you for this session! I love how you pace the session and interact with us.

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Thanks for the session. It was really helpful and boosted my confidence a lot. I feel really ready to host a bootcamp now!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

i'm so thankful for the patience she had

Learner · 4 mo. ago

Thank you so much for your help!

Learner · 4 mo. ago

She adeptly tailored her approach to accommodate the new beginner student, offering a concise recap of the material covered in prior sessions. This not only proved beneficial for the newcomer but also for the current student, who appreciated the review. Throughout the session, she kept the learners actively engaged by posing questions at the conclusion of each section, ensuring comprehension and facilitating learning. To gauge their progress in an enjoyable manner, she incorporated interactive activities like Blooket, which served as both a practice tool and a means to reinforce newly acquired knowledge. These activities not only aid in student advancement but also infuse an element of fun into the learning process.

All of the hosts are honestly amazng!

Learner · 7 mo. ago

Thanks for hosting! This session was super fun! I learned a lot about the history of Schoolhouse.

Learner · 7 mo. ago

Guten Tag! You did a great job explaining both definite and indefinite articles in the German language, which I think is one of the most challenging concepts within the German language. Your slides were also very informative and complemented your session well.

Tutor · 8 mo. ago

Thanks for clarifying my questions! It made a lot more sense with the examples, explanations and the charts.

Learner · 8 mo. ago

Claire demonstrated a good knowledge of the Khan Academy Topics that the students were working on.

Tutor · 10 mo. ago

The tutor demonstrated an advanced knowledge of the concepts discussed.

Tutor · 10 mo. ago

The tutor strengthens the learner's confidence and checks in often.

Tutor · 10 mo. ago

Thanks for explaining how the sentences around can give contexts and help determine the correct answer

Learner · 11 mo. ago

Claire gives wonderful explanations and is very friendly!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you for your session and Thank you for being so helpful. As well as staying longer to help me!!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

I admire your thoughtful approach in creating a comfortable and inclusive learning environment by taking the time to inquire about how the learner would like their name to be pronounced. I like how you clarified the learner's doubt about the calculations when the learner made a mistake during the interactive problem-solving process. When they stated that the sqrt(9) was not 3, you tried to rephrase the question and help the learner work through it.

Tutor · 1 yr. ago

Great tutor. She was very patient and kind and did her best to keep us engaged in the meeting.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

She knows what she is doing.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

She was straight forward!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you for the reading help!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you so much! Your explanations for the questions today were super clear and helpful, I really feel like I could solve those sorts of questions going forward, especially 10, 11, and 12. Thank you!!!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

These sessions have been so helpful! thank you for being patient with us, and for explaining problems so thoroughly :)

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you so much! The explanation on the question xa^2/xb^2=x^16 was incredibly helpful and informative!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

I like the way you are encouraging us. You are also really smart for your age so good on you for helping other people with your talents.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you for the tips, a lot of this information was not covered in such detail on the tutor training resources.

Learner · 15 hr. ago

Yes! A lot of the learners seemed very eager to answer the practice problems after going over the slides, showing that the slides were effective in getting the learners to understand the topics. You also helpfully answered their questions, and their responses seem to indicate that your answers to their questions helped clear up any confusion they may have had.

Tutor · 12 days ago

She provided effective explanations and taught everyone the content in a way that is beneficial to the learner, that being with patience. Usage of the phrase\"remember _____" also helps familiarize the learner with the concept that she dives further into. Additionally, the slides were very well prepared.

Tutor · 14 days ago

Fantastic session hosted by a Fantastic tutor, Thank you so much

Learner · 16 days ago

Thank you for the session. You explain the problems in a way that every one can understand.

Learner · 2 mo. ago

You gave great explanations on the overview of the SAT and the domain of words in context to your learners by going in depth and giving examples of what a question from that domain may look like. This definitely helps them give an overview of what the skill is and if they may need help in it. You also were able to define all of the difficult vocab in your own words, which I thought was super helpful to the learners to not only learn SAT vocab but to recognize synonyms to the words and use the process of elimination with them.

Tutor · 2 mo. ago

Learners were attentive and responded when you called on them. They were actively learning and participating in the practice questions, and seemingly got all of them right, which is amazing. I liked how when they answered the question, you further elaborated on their answer in your own terms to help clarify anything to the learners, like repeating how that some words the learners may not know but can guess that they are or aren't correct based on the other answers, or by defining the vocab answer choices in your own words.

Tutor · 2 mo. ago

I like her a lot tbh shes an actually good teacher. Way better than most wannabe snob tutors, there hasn't been a lot of teachers which have ACTUALLY helped me understand questions, she is one of the like 5 teachers

Learner · 2 mo. ago

I appreciate a series on literary analysis and I look forward to attending more series that you would host regarding this. This area is really relevant to my academics and is sadly lacking in schoolhouse ( as far as I can see based on summer '24).

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Thank you for this session! Your energy and teaching is what i hope to have when I tutor.

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Thank you for the session! You were really engaging and I learned a lot about good tutoring practices!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

It was a wonderful session. The tutor ensured everyone understood the content.

Learner · 4 mo. ago

This session was very interactive and insightful. As a student who will be taking biology next year, I am so grateful to have ben taught this lesson.

Learner · 4 mo. ago

She demonstrates a strong ability to explain session concepts clearly. I also like the helpful slides she utilizes to enhance her teaching. I really like how she explains it and makes it easy to understand. I also like how she makes sure that they understand before moving on. She does a great job making it fun and interesting. :)

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

She fosters an environment of encouragement and interaction, actively supporting students in their progress. When learners encounter difficulties, she patiently assists them in understanding, fostering a comfortable atmosphere by being friendly and encouraging communication through chat. Additionally, she acknowledges and celebrates correct responses, guiding students along their learning journey. Her personalized approach, including addressing students by name and recognizing returning learners, further enhances the supportive learning environment.

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

Thank you so much for hosting this awesome session! You are so amazing and dedicated to host this away from home. You are such a great tutor and I hope you have a wonderful holiday! :)

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Learner · 6 mo. ago

She's such an incredibly kind and supportive tutor that is so great at what she does. Her teaching style, characterized by patience and encouragement, has allowed me to gain a wealth of knowledge. She ensures that every student comprehends the material before moving forward and fosters an environment where making mistakes is not feared but embraced as part of the learning process. She does such a great job making her sessions both extremely informative and engaging. She even goes above and beyond by doing things such as adding interactive games into her lessons to make the learning experience even more enjoyable and fun. I'm so happy that she hosts this series, and I eagerly anticipate each upcoming session. :)

Learner · 6 mo. ago

That was super fun! Thank you Community Engagement Team for planning and hosting the Schoolhouse Eras Tour! I can't wait for future CET events.

Learner · 7 mo. ago

Amazing work putting this together! So impressed!

Learner · 7 mo. ago

Really enjoyable session! The hosts were very welcoming and interactive. It was amazing to learn about some history of Schoolhouse and hear people tell stories of their experiences. Thanks to all the CET members for putting this on!

Learner · 7 mo. ago

She is so nice and helpful!

Learner · 7 mo. ago

Yes! The learner was able to answer the practice problems correctly and shows understanding of the topic.

Tutor · 8 mo. ago

yes

Learner · 10 mo. ago

The tutor started out with duck racing which helped the learners feel comfortable and interact with each other. I like that all the students were unmuted and actively participating, even if it was just for the duck race. All the learners seemed confident and comfortable screen-sharing their work, talking on the mic, and reasoning through it with you. Good job!!

Tutor · 10 mo. ago

The tutor did well in checking the learner's knowledge and ensuring that they understood the concepts thoroughly.

Tutor · 10 mo. ago

thankyou for the session.it was so good that i didnt got bored in class.

Learner · 11 mo. ago

This session was great! I got a lot of questions clarified and saw myself understanding a lot of SAT equations I would not get otherwise (I took one November 4). Overall, I gained a lot from this session, and am super exited to continue on with the class.

Learner · 11 mo. ago

Thank you so much for the wonderful explanations!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

The learner was able to solve the problem with the tutor functioning only as support which shows that the learner made progress

Tutor · 1 yr. ago

You started by asking the learner, "Do you understand what it means for a solution to be extraneous?" This question serves as an excellent starting point for assessing the learner's existing understanding of the topic. You engaged the learner in an interactive problem-solving approach. You guided the learner step by step through a sample problem. This hands-on approach helped them apply the concept reinforcing their understanding. These teaching methods facilitate a more engaging and informative learning experience.

Tutor · 1 yr. ago

She's a good tutor and knows what she is doing.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you so much, you were really helpful going over all the things I had questions on!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Claire has the ability to clearly explain the underlying concepts
