The tutor noticed the learner’s confusion, asking “What does line 19 do?” and clarified CSV sublists to address struggles. The tutor also suggested a simpler loop for soloPA to match the learner’s needs. Breaking the task into smaller steps, like reading the CSV first, would make the content easier to understand.

The tutor engaged the learner with questions like “Do you see how it’s getting put inside the list?” and had them print data[0] to view the header. The tutor also encouraged the learner to describe their approach to the soloPA function, helping clarify any misunderstandings about its purpose. I would suggest adding more time for the learner to explain their code to boost learner engagement.

The tutor came prepared by quickly enabling screen-sharing to review the learner’s Python code and asking, “What are you trying to do here?” to focus on the CSV task. The tutor also showed strong knowledge by explaining how CSV data forms a list of lists, using the example “Hi, this is an example testing” to clarify sublists. I would suggest starting with a brief overview of the exercise’s goals to make the questions easier to understand for the learner.
