You created a relaxed, friendly space where learners felt comfortable participating. You greeted everyone by name, made light jokes, and checked in throughout to see how people were doing—not just academically but emotionally too. You also shared that you’re a high school student and that you’ve taken the SAT, which made you more relatable and helped build trust.
You acknowledged learners’ answers, even when they weren’t correct, with phrases like “Good try,” “I like that idea,” or “You’re really close,” which helped keep confidence up. You also closed the session with encouragement and offered to help with future questions, reinforcing a sense of support beyond just this one meeting.
