-You ask the learner what they want to specifically go over before offering your own ideas. When you do pitch an idea, you make sure that the learner is okay with it before proceeding. It's also great that you asked them specifically how familiar they are with Algebra concepts (20:12). You also don't leave the question open-ended and give options (review, learning new concepts, etc.) to facilitate their response. Good job here!
-Firstly, you're able to communicate mathematical concepts pretty well considering that the learner only used chat. I loved that you asked the learner why they don't like watching Khan Academy videos, presumably so that you can avoid some of the points they mentioned. You also show in practice that you're considering the learner's preferences, such as when you decided against watching the video together.
-You constantly ask the learner to participate, even when they're not solving the entire problem. An example of this is you asking them what they think an ordered pair is. This is a one-on-one session, so it's fairly simple to engage the learner, but you go above and beyond in this session.
-You confirm the learner's progress constantly throughout the session by asking if they understand your instruction. You get a good idea of their progress by asking personalized guiding questions regarding specific problems. Great job!
