Thanks for the help!

You got to go over some of the more difficult practice problems, and you made sure that the learners understood the concept in full before moving on.

Thank you for greeting the learners at the start of the session! I like that you actually engaged with the learners' responses to the welcome question. You made a great "first impression" for this session :) However, remember to affirm the learners' answers before correcting their work. If they are correct, just say "great job!" If they're wrong, try something like "it's actually not [answer choice]. but good guess!" It's important that you encourage the learners because having a good mindset helps elevate an SAT score significantly.

I think he needs to improve how he explain.

This session, for me, was more effective than the first!

I liked that the session was interactive but I would've liked to spend less time on the test-taking scenario questions and more time on the SAT content, especially reviewing the correct answer.

Liked the opportunity to take a full practice test.

Good explanations for each problem.

-Your explanation of the "I do" problem is thorough! You speak in the first person plural or second person, making it seem like the learners are taking part in solving the problem as well. You employ some important tactics that you mentioned already such as the process of elimination. You also make it easy for the learners to interject and ask questions, and when one learner actually does ask you to re-explain the problem, you do so effectively. -You let all of the learners submit their answers to the "we do" question in the chat or verbally. You pick on a learner who got the question correct to explain her thought process, which is a great way to have the learners teach each other. Well done! -You leave open space for the leaners to ask questions. After the learner above explained the question in full, you ask the learners if they understood, and you continue to clarify the concept until the learners give you the okay. You are concise and answer exactly what the learner needs, talking about why some answer choices were incorrect and why only one is correct.

Samuel, you were very well-prepared for this session! I like that you recalled what the learners needed help with based on their last practice assessment. This shows that you're making sure that the learners can benefit as much as possible from these eight sessions that you're hosting. Keep up this attitude, because I'm sure it will help the learners considerably! In terms of how you explain each practice problem, you are thorough and very patient. It's important for a tutor to be empathetic to their learners, and you succeeded on this end. Great job overall!

Thanks a lot for being very patient in helping us understand the material. My only constructive feedback would probably be to pace it up a bit (like for example, skipping over questions that everyone got right or something)
