I think that you know the topics really well, and your explanations are good. There isn't much negatives about the things that you taught, all of your explanations made sense, you were clear, and you were correct. However, I think that one thing that could've been a bit more beneficial was to use a worksheet you find online. I think it could be more helpful since it would cut the time you might spend thinking about making up problems, and it can allow the flow of the session to go on a bit better. The way you did it works pretty good, but as you get more and more advanced in math, it may be hard to replicate that in the long term. For example, I tutor calculus on this website, and it would be hard for me to make good problems on the spot on the same level as the ones that I can find from worksheets online. They could be much better practice for quizzes and tests. They can also allow for you to move on quicker, as the next problem is there and ready to go. This is just a small suggestion that I have as there is always room to improve. However, a real thing that you could improve would be to engage with the learner a bit more while you are explaining the problems. When you discuss how to do your practice problems, you can add on small things like asking a learner how you go to that answer that you got, as it can aid you in seeing whether or not the learner actually understood your explanation and made progress from this session.
