I like how you adjusted the difficulty of the practice problems based on if the learner thought the problems were difficult or not. I also like how you were willing to help the learner whenever they weren't sure about a problem. You weren't afraid of taking a problem slower to make sure they fundementally understood the principles behind it. You also did great with providing alternative solutions to the learner whenever they asked. It shows that you're able to adapt to the multiple ways people find it easy to solve these problems.

Thank you for the session Hao! I really appreciate your patience and I hope you have a good rest after this.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

It was so great meeting you guys and I hope we meet again in the future. Thank you so much for hosting this session! I look forward to another one of these. And tell Aiman that it would be my pleasure to be her sat tutor. Thanks one more time for making it fun and entertaining and letting me meet Joseph face to face for the first time.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Omg, that was really fun!!!! <3 CONGRATS ON 100k !!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

You seemed to be an international tutor, as you brought up his accent a few times, and I really admired the effort you put in to sounding clear while speaking! Great job! As for feedback, I'd say keep practicing with engagement which you were already doing a good job at and you'll be solid! Thanks again for the fun dialogue!

Thank you for the session! A true hero for tutoring us regardless of the chaotic situation ^^

Learner · 3 mo. ago

One of the best sessions I've ever had. The bootcaamp gets more engaging the more I participate. Volunteering for the questions and seeing other learners volunteering for my questions to explain them to me was really sweet^^ Also thanks to our amazing tutor who makes the session wonderful as always!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Thank you for answering and helping us out with the question even tho Wifi disconnection was the preparator today! I'd love to be more early just to chat about how you guys are doing before the session begins^^ Great session overall!

Learner · 4 mo. ago

Thank you for today’s session! The hosts were very helpful when I asked a question. They didn’t straight up gave an answer but lead me to the answer step by step by asking me questions to teach me. Overall a wonderful study space.

Learner · 4 mo. ago

The hosts are very kind people. Sometimes they host extra session for late participates. I have a great time studying and chatting in the breaks. It's overall an amazing study space :D

Learner · 4 mo. ago

Thank you for this session. Compared to my previous online zoom meetings, I felt more connected here.

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Hans, you did a great job in engaging the learner and confirming her progress. For example, at 21:35 you asked the learner a question regarding the topic. Rather than directly give her the answer, you provided her the means to discover the answer on her own and when she did you praised her. Excellent!

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

Hans, you did a fine job in gathering different pages to aid in teaching the learner. For example, at 20:00 you provided information from your notes to help in your tutoring. Well done!

Thank you for being patient and explaining it until I got it.

Learner · 6 mo. ago

I like that he makes us participate which is really helpful to absorb the material better

Learner · 7 mo. ago

I genuinely want to say that my tutor is really passionate, kind, and dedicated for us to learn the content. He literally would go through each question one-by-one, which is amazingly helpful -- I just wish if he could better pace himself for explaining each question, so we don't waste valuable studying time. But, this session was everything I wished for and more!

Learner · 7 mo. ago

I like the tips you gave for reading through the questions and underlying information after variables. This is great for allowing the learner to identify the important information quickly. I can tell you have a lot of good knowledge over solving SAT questions and how to effectively work through them. You did great with using Desmos in the problems. Perhaps you could show ways of using Desmos in every problem in which it would be useful for to show the learner how effective it can be. I also like your visual explanations of the greater/less than sign as being similar to pacman. This can help the learner associate the symbol with something they can visualize. You also did great with using the whiteboard to draw out your thoughts for the learner to see. If possible, you could also have the learner draw on the screen to show their thought process.

Thank you so much for this event. It was so worth it waking up at 1 a.m!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you for this session! I love how interactive and fun it is! I'm glad to get to have this R & W 100K Celebration with you guys :D

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you for the session! Above everything else, I appreciated the patience exhibited by my tutors this discussion. Even though this was my first Dialogues session, I had no issues with understanding the way the session would be run. The discussion points and sample questions provided were also very insightful, and allowed conversation to flow between my partner and I.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you for the patience and resaliance for staying up till 2 hours and 20 minutes and practicing questions with me. I wish you a good rest ^^

Learner · 2 mo. ago

One of my best Dialogue session so far! The hosts are friendly and outgoing!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Han Rao has all the good quality of the tutors in my learner perspective. He does a good job explaining the hard questions, cheers up for the learner when they get the question correct, reassures them "It's okay to make mistakes, the more you make! the more you learn!" when they get it wrong. He is 15 minutes earlier, willing to help us if we have any question and even after the session may ends, he still volunteers or does Office hour to help us :D Also he shares us his own source of SAT Prep. (like a vocab list) So I think he deserves the highest ratings among other tutors :)

Learner · 3 mo. ago

The session was quite engaging and productive thanks to the tutor! We went through the questions and actively learned it. You also emphasized about not to be afraid with our mistakes and failures, even telling your own story. Thank you for this session despite you being a little bit sick. Truly a superhuman^^

When I told them I was searching for the world’s greatest tutor, they chuckled—dismissive, condescending. They said, “Such a person can’t exist.” But one stormy night, in the back corner of a forgotten study forum, a cloaked man appeared beside me. He didn’t speak. He simply raised a gloved hand and pointed toward a glowing screen. There sat Hao Ran. Not reading notes—writing them. Notes on neuroscience, quantum mechanics, post-structuralist philosophy, rocket propulsion, you name it. I watched in awe as he derived equations from scratch, then pivoted seamlessly into literary analysis, pausing only to correct a historical inaccuracy in the group chat. That night, he didn’t just teach me. He rewrote the laws of learning. They said no such tutor existed. They were wrong. There is Hao Ran. The world’s greatest tutor.

Learner · 4 mo. ago

One of the best sessions I've ever had. I'm really satisfied with these late night study sessions which gives you motivation boost just to get the work done :)

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Thank you so much for all of your help Hans! It was a super engaging session and the hour went by so quickly! You did a great job sharing your knowledge in a friendly and helpful way.

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Yes, there are many examples. However, the most prominent is at the end of the session 1:28:30 where the learner is extremely grateful going as far as to say that she is very grateful to have you as a tutor on schoolhouse and that you are one of her favorites! Hans keep up the good work!

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

Hans, you continuously made the teaching environment a safe and comfortable space for the learner. For example, at 23:30 you helped the learner who did not know the answer to the problem by saying that it's ok and then explaining the process. Great job tutoring!

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

Awesome!

Learner · 6 mo. ago

Thanks for helping me after the meeting. Really helped me understand.

Learner · 7 mo. ago

I loved how fun it was! I was worried about not having a smooth transition into this but you made it very fun and easy. thank you!
