Your confidence-building approach was consistently effective throughout the session. You proactively reassured students about the difficulty level, saying "don't feel bad, or don't feel discouraged if you get these questions wrong, because they are very hard" and reminding them multiple times that these were the hardest SAT questions. When students provided correct reasoning, you validated their thinking - telling Sofia "your first step is correct" even when her overall approach was flawed, and acknowledging Samuel's alternative method as viable. You used positive reinforcement appropriately, giving thumbs up for correct answers in chat and saying "you're welcome" when students thanked you for explanations. You also normalized struggle by sharing your own SAT experience, mentioning that statistics questions were what cost you the perfect score, which helped students feel less alone in finding certain topics challenging. Your ability to create a comfortable learning environment was exceptional throughout the session. You established a relaxed, conversational tone from the start with casual greetings and maintained it throughout. You handled technical difficulties with your video connection smoothly without letting it disrupt the flow or create stress. When you made small errors during explanations, you corrected them naturally without self-criticism, modeling resilience. You encouraged questions consistently and responded to each one thoughtfully, creating a space where students felt safe to ask for clarification. Your approach of having students submit answers privately before discussing them publicly removed the pressure of being wrong in front of peers. You also showed genuine interest in student learning by asking about pacing preferences and adjusting accordingly. Your use of collaborative problem-solving, where students could build on each other's ideas, fostered a supportive learning community. You balanced challenge with support effectively - pushing students to think deeply while providing scaffolding when needed. The way you acknowledged different solution methods and learning preferences helped all students feel valued regardless of their approach to problem-solving.

Your session preparation showed reasonable organization with a clear structure using OnePrep for hard SAT questions, and you managed time effectively by setting 5-minute limits per problem. You handled technical issues gracefully when your video connection had problems and checked in about pacing with students. However, there were some preparation gaps - you seemed uncertain about whether certain question types would actually appear on the SAT ("you probably will never see a question like this on the SAT" for the unit circle problem) and had moments where you needed to backtrack or correct yourself during explanations. Your mathematical understanding was consistently strong throughout the session. You demonstrated mastery across multiple domains including systems of equations, rational equations, geometry, trigonometry, and statistics. Your explanation of why equations with infinitely many solutions must have equal coefficients was mathematically sound, and you correctly identified that rational equations with different denominators require zero numerators to be equal. Your work with similar rectangles using ratios was accurate, and you properly applied the 45-45-90 triangle theorem. The unit circle explanation, while advanced, was mathematically correct in identifying that 25π represents 12 full rotations plus π radians. Your explanations were generally effective but varied in clarity. The elimination strategy for the rational equation was excellent - explaining that "0 over anything equals 0" made the concept accessible. Your visual approach to the rectangle problem by drawing diagrams helped students understand the ratio relationships. However, some explanations became convoluted, particularly with the isosceles right triangle where you seemed to lose track of your algebra midway through. The unit circle explanation, while mathematically correct, may have been too advanced for the audience. Your conditional probability explanations were clear in distinguishing between "given" conditions and total populations. The session would benefit from more consistent preparation regarding which topics are actually SAT-relevant, and some complex algebraic work could use cleaner presentation to avoid confusing students during the solving process.

What went well: Henderson's introductions were concise, and he wasted no time getting into the content. He clearly outlined the purpose of the 3-week boot camp, which gave students a clear idea of what they would learn. He also had a good pace, keeping the session moving and engaging. What could be better: Henderson's introductions were so brief that they lacked a personal connection. He didn't share any information about himself or ask the students to introduce themselves, which is a missed opportunity to build rapport and create a welcoming environment. He also started the session by telling students to solve a question, which might have been a bit jarring for new students who had just joined. Suggestions: Henderson should spend a few minutes at the start of the session for personal introductions, perhaps a quick "My name is Henderson, and I'm a student at..." and then ask the students to do the same. He should also begin the session with a general welcome and a clear road map before diving into the content to give everyone a chance to settle in.

Your ability to identify and understand learner struggles was consistently strong throughout the session. When Mimi asked for more detailed explanation on the rational equation problem, you immediately recognized her confusion and provided a clear, step-by-step breakdown focusing on the conceptual understanding that "0 over anything equals 0." When Samuel expressed confusion about your algebraic steps in the triangle problem, you patiently walked through each calculation again. You also demonstrated diagnostic skills by recognizing when students chose incorrect answers for understandable reasons - like when many students chose 4 for the rectangle problem, you specifically asked someone to explain their reasoning to understand the error pattern. You showed awareness that students might struggle with advanced concepts, prefacing the unit circle problem with reassurance that "these are very hard, so don't feel discouraged." Your adaptation to learners' unique needs was particularly effective throughout the session. You consistently offered multiple solution methods, such as showing both the traditional algebraic approach and the Desmos graphing method for the infinitely many solutions problem. When Saanvi suggested an alternative algebraic approach to the rectangle problem, you validated it as equally valid, demonstrating flexibility in accepting different problem-solving styles. You adjusted your explanations based on individual questions - providing more conceptual detail for Mimi while offering computational shortcuts for Samuel. You also adapted your difficulty level appropriately, acknowledging when topics like the unit circle were beyond typical SAT scope while still explaining them for interested students. Your responsiveness to the group's learning pace was evident when you checked about timing preferences and adjusted accordingly. You also differentiated your support well - some students needed more foundational explanations while others were ready for advanced alternative methods. Your willingness to revisit and re-explain concepts multiple ways until students understood showed strong adaptive teaching. The way you handled the advanced unit circle problem by both explaining it thoroughly and contextualizing its rarity on actual SATs demonstrated thoughtful adaptation to diverse preparation needs.

Your engagement with learners was consistently strong throughout the session. You actively involved students by having them solve problems independently first, then share answers in private chat before discussing solutions. You regularly checked for understanding with questions like "Are there any questions?" and "Does that make sense?" You responded thoughtfully to student queries, such as when Samuel asked about faster solving methods and when Mimi requested more detailed explanations. You also adapted to the group dynamic well, asking about pacing preferences and adjusting your approach based on student feedback. Your use of collaborative problem-solving, where you had students identify wrong answers first, kept them actively participating rather than passively listening. Your encouragement of student thinking was particularly effective throughout the session. You consistently asked students to explain their reasoning before providing solutions. When Sofia shared her proportional approach to the rectangle problem, you listened carefully and identified both what was correct and where the logic broke down. You asked clarifying questions like "Does someone want to explain that?" when multiple students chose the same incorrect answer, encouraging peer explanation. When Saanvi suggested an alternative algebraic approach to the rectangle problem, you acknowledged it as valid and showed flexibility in solution methods. You also created opportunities for students to share their problem-solving strategies, such as when Samuel explained his approach to the rational equation. Your approach of having students eliminate obviously wrong answers first was particularly effective at getting them to engage with the mathematical reasoning. You also did well in validating student approaches even when they led to incorrect answers, showing them where their logic was sound before redirecting. The combination of private chat submissions followed by public discussion created a safe space for students to share their thinking without immediate judgment. To enhance engagement further, you could occasionally have students explain concepts to each other rather than always directing explanations back to you, which would create more peer-to-peer learning opportunities.

The session was well-conducted without any significant issues, and the inclusion of Khan Academy practice was excellent. To further support visual learners and deepen understanding, incorporating on-screen annotations during question reviews, such as at 44:26, would be incredibly beneficial.
