You demonstrated strong adaptability. You immediately addressed a student's request to "sum up all of them" and took the time to re-explain the material from the beginning, which showed your commitment to ensuring every student understood the concepts before moving on. Your willingness to break down the complex surface area formula piece by piece and use the paper-rolling analogy was a great example of adapting your teaching method to a struggling learner. When another student, Yann, asked a hypothetical question about the SAT, you provided a clear and practical answer, explaining why the SAT wouldn't test the concept in that specific way and refocusing the lesson on the skills they actually need for the exam. This demonstrates a deep understanding of the test's structure and the ability to guide students efficiently.

You did an excellent job of engaging the students. You frequently asked questions, checked for understanding with thumbs-up polls, and encouraged students to speak up if they had doubts. Your approach to the cylinder problem was a great example of this: you posed the question, gave students time to think, and then let one student (Siena) walk through her entire solution. This is a very effective strategy for reinforcing student confidence and allowing them to take ownership of their learning. You also handled a student's confusion ("It's getting kind of confusing") very well. You paused your explanation, asked for clarification, and then re-explained the concept from a different angle with a concrete analogy (unrolling a paper tube). This showed that you were truly listening and willing to adapt to student needs in real-time.

Thank you so much for this session, it was genuinely super helpful. I think you covered in 2 hours what takes my teachers a year to explain. I feel wayyy more prepared for SAT math

I was totally convinced by ur vibe and introduction from the very start that this session is going to be interesting. And I wasn't wrong about it. You introduced us to everything a very simple way and also provided references by guiding us step by step. Thank you for that. Please keep it up even for the future sessions and encourage u to always think about the beginners to make them feel capable by ur explanations as I am also one of them. Best wishes for ur future and keep me in ur prayers so that I can ace the Digital SAT by ur guidance.

You created a comfortable and positive learning environment. Your tone was consistently encouraging and patient. You were not only willing to answer questions but actively invited them. When Siena solved the problem correctly, you gave her specific and enthusiastic praise ("perfectly done"), which likely boosted her confidence. You also used phrases like "no trouble" and "that's great," which fostered a supportive atmosphere where students felt comfortable asking for help. The fact that students were comfortable enough to interject and ask questions is a testament to the trust and rapport you built with them.

You were clearly prepared for the session, having a set of topics and a plan for how to cover them. You had a logical progression from basic geometry to more complex concepts like volume and surface area, and then finally to parallel lines. You correctly identified the most challenging topics for SAT math and structured your lesson accordingly. Your knowledge of the material was excellent, and you were able to explain complex formulas for volume and surface area by breaking them down into their component parts (e.g., the surface area of a cylinder is the sum of two circles and a unrolled rectangle).

I liked the practice questions and when the tutor opened the explanations up to the class. I also like the shortcuts he demonstrated.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

He explained in depth on the topic.
