Hannah L

Throughout this session, Luciana's problems were definitely pretty difficult, both for Luciana and just in general. Therefore, Luciana showed a good amount of confusion when trying to solve the problems (EX. 18:54 mark where Luciana clearly states how she is confused with a part of the problem). However, it seems that Hannah is well-prepared and recognizes Luciana's struggles and able to help Luciana appropriately. For example, in the same moment where Luciana states that she is clearly confused, Hannah is able to reword her own explanation on solving the problem they were working in a way where it was more clear as to what Hannah was asking of Luciana (EX. Hannah turns her question more close-ended to where Hannah asked Luciana "How many 7x's do I have," which is much easier to find compared to the "how many 7x angles and negative 7x angles" Hannah asked of Luciana previously). Overall, Hannah's ability to recognize Luciana's signs of confusion in order to help her along with making the situation comfortable enough for Luciana to say out loud that she is confused shows an "advanced" level of "seeking to understand learners who exhibit signs of struggle. Additionally, with Hannah being able to reword her questions in a way that makes it way easier for SPECIFIALY LUCIANA to answer, it shows an "advanced" level of "adapting to learners' unique needs" by building off of the learner's existing knowledge to help answer a question, great job by HANNAH.

Firstly, I really like how in the first practice question that Hannah does, she gives a lot of instances for her student, Luciana, to engage. For example, when Hannah is reading out the first practice question at the 12:24 mark of the recording, Hannah continuously checks up on Luciana's understanding of the problem by mentioned some simple, close ended problems like "are these angles acute" and "what does the angle measure become when we add up the obtuse and acute angle" and ETC. This keeps Luciana actively engaged where she doesn't have any time to dose off or lose focus. Additionally, along with these simple questions, Hannah also gives Luciana the opportunity to solve the problem by herself while also guiding Luciana's problem-solving in order to find the correct conclusions. For example, at the 18:43 mark, when Luciana shares an answer she got, Hannah recognizes that Luciana made a slight error and encouraged Luciana to explain her reasoning for the answer. Then, after some hints made by Hannah, this allows Luciana to get directed to the correct answer as seen in the 25:39 mark, they have finally eliminated enough answer to conclude that "since the answer isn't B, the answer has to be A." Overall, with Hannah actively being with Luciana's side along with ALWAYS answering Luciana's questions whenever she was concerned, it shows a meaning engagement between the two, showing an "advanced" level of "engaging with the learner" by Hannah, so a very great job to her. Additionally, with Hannah giving plenty opportunities and encouragement to allow Luciana to solve and explain problems, this makes for an effective session that most definitely helped Luciana learn. Ergo, with the good back-and-forth discussion of problems with Luciana and Hannah, Hannah shows an "advanced" level of "encouraging learners to explain their thinking." Honestly, when looking at the entire session, I personally don't see anything wrong with Hannah's tutoring as she was very engaged with Luciana as well as giving Luciana an appropriate amount of time to think and do the problem by herself, So great job by Hannah.

You adapted naturally to Luciana's pace, took your time with each problem until she felt sure. I like how you clarify her mistakes by moving several steps back and explaining why she made a mistake. Great job!

Tutor · 7 days ago

You kept Luciana involved the whole time by asking questions while explaining, checking her understanding and giving her space to think. I like how you also let her interrupt you whenever she feels confused or unsure. Keep up the good work!

She was so helpful and sweet! It was truly great to learn from her, and I really look forward to our next session.

You did a great job personalizing the session and focusing on exactly what the learner needed. I don't think you could have done a better job!

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

You did a great job explaining the problem and definitely demonstrated your understanding of the concept. In particular, I liked how you explained the differences between the two sequence formulas and when to use each one.

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

It was clear that your learner was struggling with the homework problems at hand, but you did an excellent job enforcing certain rules about Algebra and using the past problems you solved with the learner as an example on how you solve problems later down the line. You stayed patient, and considerate by letting them know it was ok to make mistakes. Your learner was often stumped by certain problems but you didn't let it seem like the end of the world with a assuring "That's ok."

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

You did a fantastic job confronting your learner regarding their explanations with how they got certain answers. It was great how you didn't immediately shut down their response and judge it for being wrong, but instead you took it slow, and got your learner thinking about what they might've done wrong and how they could've approached the question differently. You kept your learner on your toes without taking any unnecessary breaks and stayed consistent with your pace. Additionally, you let your learner take the lead on most of the homework problems with you remaining as a guide to steer him in the right direction by using great follow-up questions like ("Ok, what would happen if we add 17?").

She was so patient and kind I actually LOVED the session she was so encouraging and knew how to answer all my questions very well. Thank you!

Learner · 4 mo. ago

You were really proficient in helping the learner with their problem. You were equally proficient in identifying the problem too. You did a great job in the first few minutes to explain GCF in variables and even what square means. On top of that, you adapted to the learner's needs because she did not know some basic concepts but you still managed to teach her quite easily. Nice job there!!!

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

I was super impressed with how you conducted the session. The session ran very smoothly and I saw no problems at any given point. You also clearly knew the topic you were teaching and taught your learner very well. Most importantly, you were also teaching the learner all the underlying topics to get the answer instead of just giving her the answer. Nice job and keep it up!

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

I think you did an excellent job when it came to assisting your learners. This is because when your learners made mistakes, you stepped in and found subtle, but effective ways to turn those mistakes into a learning process. You guided them step by step, which you should continue to do with the right tone and attitude to ensure your learners can feel comfortable in your session's learning environment.

Thank you so much Hannah! You were very kind and polite when I didn't understand the questions, and welcomed me to the session, which was super nice :D. You answered my questions and your explanations were very clear. Thank you once again!

Nice job! You showed a deep understanding of your cirriculum present through how you taught your course! Good job preparing for your session too, your material and efforts show greatly!

Tutor · 7 mo. ago

Thank you for the amazing live session! I really appreciate how you don't just explain concepts but also make sure to break them down step by step. Instead of just stating facts, you give clear reasoning and examples, which makes everything easier to understand. Your way of teaching helps connect ideas rather than just memorizing them. I feel much more confident about the topic now. Looking forward to more sessions!

First of all, it is great that Hannah is able to verbally greet Luciana in order to kick the session off with a good, engaging start, so kudos to that. Moving forward, throughout the session, Hannah was very supportive in the fact that she always sounded kind and never tried to make Luciana feel uncomfortable. Additionally, Hannah also gives a lot of encouragement to Luciana in order to make her feel more confident in solving a problem as well as making Luciana feel more comfortable sharing her confusion (EX. in the 39:44 mark where she reassures Luciana by telling her that she is, indeed, sort of "overwhelming you with information right now). Hannah even makes Luciana comfortable enough to a point where even Luciana blatantly mentions how "I'm confused (18:54)." Overall, with Hannah's excellent ability to make Luciana feel comfortable with her mistakes as well as some encouragement that helps Luciana feel more confident answering the problems shows an "advanced" level of "strengthening learners' confidence." Additionally, With Hannah being able to create such a friendly environment with Luciana where Luciana can freely express her questions and confusions (and even have a nice post-session discussion where they are talking about Hannah's SAT experience at the 1:16:04: mark of the recording and ETC.) shows an "advanced" level of "creating a comfortable learning environment." To conclude this peer review, I just want to say that this is probably the best showcases of advanced peer tutoring I've ever seen. I've mentioned in the previous Peer Review categories on how well Hannah shows the "advanced" level of criteria, and there really seems to be no major suggestions I can give for Hannah. So therefore, I just want to personally congratulate Hannah for doing such an amazing job tutoring, even I learned something from listening to the recording. I guess the only "suggestion" I have for Hannah is by greeting Luciana with her name in the beginning of the session (EX. 12:00 mark), but that is a really easy fix. Besides that, have a great time tutoring Hannah, AMAZING WORK :D

Over the course of the entire session, it seems that Hannah was already given the questions that Luciana wanted to go over. with that info, Hannah was able to use those questions in order to structure the session in an appropriate way. Throughout the entire session, Hannah and Luciana were always able to be working and engaging on the questions that Luciana provided, and with Hannah's adequate explanations of the material (ex. the 23:15 mark where Hannah is explaining how to use the equations to help you solve the question) along with Hannah actually reviewing the questions beforehand (EX. 12:30 mark where she mentions how she had to take some time before the session in order to understand the problem for Luciana), the entire session was very effective and helpful for Luciana. Overall, with Hannah being prepared for Luciana's questions, having been provided them and working on them before the session, there were no technical or curriculum issues that disrupted the session at all, showing an "advanced" level of "being prepared to run the session smoothly." Additionally, with Hannah reviewing Luciana's questions beforehand so that she could give Luciana correct guidance throughout the entire session along with making sure that Luciana understands the solution by encouraging them to explain (see Engages actively category of peer review) shows an "advanced" level of "conveying a deep understanding of the material."

You made Luciana feel comfortable by sharing personal stories and struggles. I also like how you concluded by sharing tips from personal experience, accompanied by stories too (I felt engaged too!)

Tutor · 7 days ago

You opened the session with a friendly introduction, great job on that! You set a comfortable tone and made Luciana feel supported right away.

Throughout the session, you did a great job making sure your learner was engaged. I really liked how you encouraged your learner to explain her thought process while you stepped in to clarify anything.

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

She was so kind and patient especially when I did not know the answer or how to move forward she did not make me feel bad at all! Thank you

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Your method of explanation and tone was very consistent, slow, and soft which allowed the learner to adjust perfectly and make them feel as if they were in an environment where it was ok to make mistakes. As the learner become increasingly confident, you used positive language to enforce their motivation, and get them to feel they're making progress, which they were.

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

Throughout this session, I could see that you were definitely very well-versed and experienced at Equations and Inequalities. You dived right in to the content without wasting any time, and you used clear and concise explanations to clarify how to solve these problems to your learner. You managed to adjust your pace with the learner's as the session progressed and you were able to relate your explanations of certain questions to past questions you and your learner had already done. For example, around the 18:05 mark, you were able to connect your explanations with question 6 to question 11 to explain how to convert from -w to w. It was segments like these in your video where I saw your preparedness to be patient and considering with your learner.

Thank you so much for the session! You were really helpful and helped me understood probibillity a little bit better. Hannah L is one of the best tutors ever. She is Patient and understading. Thank you again so much!!!

Learner · 4 mo. ago

You and the learner were always conversing with each other. You did a great job keeping your learner engaged throughout the lesson and especially when it took some time to solve a question. You made sure that your learner was leading the discussion until you really needed to step in. I was also quite impressed with how you listened to your learners' thinking so you could identify the problem. Great job!!!

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

I think you did an excellent job when it came to adjusting for your learners. This is because when your learners' struggled with the process for factoring, you consistently understood what they did wrong the a, b, c components and tried to tailor them to use that method. Additionally, it was a good idea to conduct factoring with a not equal to 1 as you are able to fill in knowledge gaps with factoring. Most commonly, the x^2 component has a coefficient with 1, but when it's not equal to 1, you are able to build off their knowledge of basic factoring and see if they can extend it.

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

I think you did an excellent job when it came to engagement. This is because you were able to consistently allow your learners to solve the factoring problems on their own and allow them to explain how they get each component of the factors. What is good is that you allowed them to lead the solving session with both problems in the session. You, on the other hand, served as a backbone, assisting them when needed and try to uncover their struggles. You should continue to do this.

Nice job adapting to your students needs! You did a great job helping them in areas where they required assistance. You also perfectly adapted to your student's capabilities and asking questions as the critical moments. For example, asking what a line was established basic knowledge for solving the problem, good job!
