Started off the session with a positive tone, an introduction, and asking how to pronounce the learner's name. Anvi also invited the learner to turn their camera on and unmute but remained flexible when the learner shared their preferences to communicate via chat. Anvi did the same for learners that joined later and did a great job in juggling the different learners in her sessions and their specific needs. Anvi also does a strong job at celebrating learners when they did something well -- there's a ton of evidence of this around the 1:18:00 mark when Anvi is supporting Azaan in drafting an email. One particular instance that stood out is when she praises a sentence he wrote and mentions there's only one grammatical error in it. Instead of naming the error, Anvi asks Azaan to do so. I think this was an extremely well done move on Anvi's part because it builds confidence prior to asking a learner to do something vulnerable, such as identifying and correcting a mistake.
