You did a good job checking Suaiba’s prior knowledge by asking her questions throughout the session, such as whether she remembered specific formulas or concepts like quadrants and the unit circle. This helped you identify areas where she needed additional support, such as recalling the focus-directrix formula or determining which variable to eliminate in a system of equations. You adapted well by validating her ideas and adjusting your explanations based on her feedback. For example, when she suggested using systems of equations instead of trigonometric methods for finding intersection points, you worked through her approach together. Additionally, you kept her engaged by encouraging her to actively participate in solving problems, such as writing equations on paper and suggesting strategies for elimination. To improve further, consider summarizing key takeaways after completing each problem type to reinforce learning and ensure she leaves the session with a clear understanding of what she has accomplished.
