Thank you for the session! It was enjoyable yet we got some practice in.

You fostered a friendly and encouraging environment from start to finish. You took the time to check in with learners by name and used positive, casual language that made the space feel low-pressure. During the practice test, you reassured learners: “Don’t worry if you don’t know every answer. Just do your best, and we’ll go over it together.” Your enthusiasm and patience helped learners stay engaged and willing to participate. When Daniella hesitated, your calm and supportive tone encouraged her to try again, which helped build her confidence.

You entered the session well-prepared and clearly outlined the structure early on: “We’re going to go through a Kahoot, then we’ll do a quick lesson, and finally we’ll take a practice test.” Your organization helped the session flow smoothly and gave learners a clear sense of direction. You also demonstrated strong content knowledge, especially when reviewing function transformations and inverse operations. One particularly effective moment was when you broke down a complex inverse problem step-by-step: “We’re trying to isolate x. First, subtract 2 from both sides... then divide by 3.” You consistently guided students through the “why” behind each move, which reinforced deeper understanding.

The tutor is friendly, flexible, and has his camera on which makes them a lot more personable. This is an a-typical session so I was not able to give much feedback, but overall the environment is safe, and fosters a desire to help the learner get the most out of future tutoring. Great job, keep up the awesome work!

You were highly responsive when learners showed confusion. When Zoya asked for clarification on function notation, you circled back to the concept and gave a simpler example: “Let’s think of f(x) as a machine... if you put in 2, what comes out?” This helped reframe the topic and made it more accessible. You also adapted well in the moment when tech issues interrupted part of the Kahoot. You kept the group focused and adjusted by giving extra time to discuss the questions. This flexibility helped the session stay productive without letting the issue become disruptive.

You created multiple opportunities for participation, starting with the icebreaker and continuing through the Kahoot and lesson review. You asked open-ended questions like “What do you notice about this graph?” and “Why do you think that’s the answer?” which helped draw learners in. You responded enthusiastically to answers from learners like Zoya and Daniella, affirming their thinking and redirecting when needed. For instance, when Daniella chose an incorrect answer on a graph question, you said: “That’s a great observation. Now let’s look again at what the transformation means.” Going forward, you might create more space for learners to walk through their reasoning aloud to strengthen peer learning and confidence.

This session is focused on test taking, and assessing what the learner already knows to be able to maximize how the tutor helps the learner in future sessions. The tutor is actively seeking to find signs of struggle objectively, and adapting to the very unique needs of the learner.

The tutor does a great job running the session smoothly, they have a great assessment prepared with questions to test the learner's understanding. They start by discussing what will be done in the session, and how timing will flow, which is great for setting the tone. The tutor clearly understands the concepts well because they created an assessment that was given in this session, and wants to help the learner from where they are struggling via this test in future sessions.

Thank you for hosting this, it was very helpful and a great way to review!!

Learner · 26 days ago

Thank you so much for the session! I came with very little knowledge, and you were able to introduce me to the basic questions in a way that was really easy to take in and helped me answer the questions that I had. It was definitely a situation where I was trying to catch up to the course content and had worries about figuring things out, but your patience and explanations were super helpful in getting there! I look forward to the next session :)
