You responded really thoughtfully when Gordon mentioned things like needing clarification on when to use certain derivative definitions. I liked that you slowed down and reinforced key ideas like vertical tangents or the difference between average and instantaneous rate of change. You also adapted your depth of instruction well based on the fact that he had already completed AP Calc AB. That flexibility really made your session feel personalized, and it allowed Gordon to focus on mastering rather than reviewing.

You did a great job of engaging Gordon throughout the session. You asked him direct questions like “Can you identify where the discontinuity is?” or “Do you know when a derivative doesn’t exist?”—and gave him time to respond. It was good to see you encourage him to express his reasoning, which kept the session interactive and student-focused. The tone you maintained was supportive and casual, which helped create a comfortable atmosphere. This helped Gordon feel confident in sharing what he knew.

This was one of the strongest parts of your session. You were very encouraging throughout and created an open environment where Gordon felt comfortable asking questions and even pointing out audio issues without hesitation. You gave praise at appropriate times and affirmed his correct answers, which definitely helped build his confidence. Your casual, friendly tone worked really well for the one-on-one setting.
