I understand when you were explaining.

Learner · 9 mo. ago

today’s session I got to do a bit of calculus BC, with the Eulers method, and although I kept getting 99.9% of the questions wrong, Yakov didn’t mind explaining it twice, and showing how the answer was derived. The work was shown algebraically as well as conceptually with great explanations, truly the best tutor on schoolhouse!

Hello Yakov! I'm Jay R from the Auditing Team and I've just reviewed Calc AB/BC FRQ Review. You did a great job overall with the session. I like how you constantly asked the learner questions to understand if they understood the content instead of just giving them the answers. You seem really well informed about all the material in calculus and I can tell you really helped the learner prepare for the exam. Considering that I'm also currently preparing for the exam too, the session seemed really helpful to review and practice past problems from the College Board. Again, great job on your session, if you have any questions or want to discuss anything further, feel free to message me (Jay R) on Slack. Happy tutoring!

Hello Yakov, I'm Hai from the auditing team, I attended your session and everything was amazing. You showed mastery over the example question without any errors. I really like how you ask the learner if they want to do the problem first or do it with you. Great job asking the learner questions to encourage them to actively participate and solve the problems. Though I would recommend an small ice--break or introduction, for example, your name, and what do you enjoy doing in the summer. Overall, great session, keep it up!

Hey there Yakov, I'm Shadman S from the auditing team! Congrats on your second session! This was such a great display of patience: I can see that you have all the certifications, yet you were incredibly respectful to your first learner! You were also clearly able in the topics you taught, and you did your best to engage learners in your answers (it's always a little harder in Live Help, don't worry!). Well, in any case, I welcome you to Schoolhouse with open arms : this session shows that you will make a great tutor here! Reach out to me if you have any questions/concerns!

I enjoyed the fact that they were able to slow down and walk us through example steps before having us try it out on our own! I am sorry for going away for a long time, but I had personal issues, but other than that Yakov did a phenominal job explaining any questions I had pertaining the topic of Calculus. Specifically, polar coordinates so thank you once again!
