In the session, Alexander started by asking Maryam if she already knew some of the topics needed to answer her questions (e.g. derivative of arcsin(x)) and used this information to fill any knowledge gaps he found to enable her to answer the questions independently. Additionally, when she forgot a term of the equation she was solving he did not directly tell her that she was wrong. Rather, he told her to reconsider her answer while guiding her towards the correct one. Every time he explained a topic, he asked her whether she understood his approach to confirm her progress. Lastly, after explaining inverse functions to Maryam, Alexander engaged her in the learning process by asking her to answer the questions herself instead of just giving her the correct answer.
