Wylene C

Wylene showed Advanced instructional agility by quickly adapting her teaching methods based on Katie's responses. When Katie struggled to abstractly grasp the difference between permutations and combinations, Wylene successfully used a relatable food analogy (putting it like that, being in food terms so I understand the best) which immediately clarified the concept. When she realized her socks/pants/shirts example was confusing the Multiplication Principle with the Combinations formula, she owned the mistake and changed instantly to a more formula-appropriate example choosing a PE team. She also successfully used dice and marble examples to differentiate independent and dependent probability when Katie admitted unfamiliarity with the concepts.

The tutor fostered an Advanced rapport, opening the session with a warm peer-to-peer conversation about college apps and stress. She created a highly supportive and safe learning environment where Katie felt comfortable admitting confusion (I'm getting confused now, I don't recollect it that well). Wylene used consistent and positive reinforcement for correct answers and handled moments of her own confusion and student errors with humor and empathy (It's a Tuesday afternoon It's okay, it's okay, no worries). Her overall manner was highly encouraging and celebrating successes (Yeah, I think you have the hang of it, Yay!) and assuring Katie that tricky calculations like those with negatives were manageable ("you got this").
