You frequently asked learners about their previous knowledge, solicited questions from them, and checked if they were following along. I also liked how you always picked the right time to give to learners for them to respond. Often, you had learners themselves to lead problem-solving, even if at times you yourself took the lead, especially when both of them were wrong. That's not incorrect, but I believe that if you understand why the learners were wrong, and try to build explanations starting from their errors, the process will be much more long-lasting and profoundly impactful! I liked, for instance, how you engaged the learner in solving the first question, asking him several questions to get the answer. Next time, based on my experience, why don't you try to see what he would have done alone without your guiding questions? You would have made sure if he got all the ideas or had some problems! I also loved how you paid attention to learners' understanding. To improve it even more, it would be useful, at least based on my experience, to always ask learners if they have all clear or need further clarity, just as you did for the third question. Talking about the third question,
about finding the angle XYZ you just went straight to the answer with your explanations even if you did ask some questions to the learner. Try before all to encourage learners to share their ideas, even when they are incorrect, to strengthen their understanding, while making sure everyone equally receives the spotlight to share their thoughts (which you accomplished very well btw!). Finally, you showed to be no common tutor by first having one learner try to explain the problem about the len of Xy and second by checking previous knowledge on the unit circle. Overall, Daniel, you are a wonderful and interactive tutor! You join enthusiasm with care, adding clarity and challenging your learners! The more the better! Hopefully, all makes sense. Otherwise, reach out for further clarification!
