I have received some great tips from this onboarding session. Really you guys and all the people from the Schoolhouse creators community provided some really great tips to kickstart the journey to be a tutor. Hopefully I become a tutor in Physics subworld very soon! Once again, thanks for the onboarding session and the tips!

The session provided a supportive atmosphere where students could express their concerns and receive tailored advice. The tutors’ focus on specific strategies likely helped students feel more prepared, suggesting that learners made progress in their understanding of the material and their test-taking strategies.

Tutor · 2 mo. ago

The environment that was here at this session was great. Even though this is just a jeopardy event, thanks for boosting the participants' confidence by using phrases like "I am so proud of you." at the end. It shows that you deeply care about all of them and want all of them to have an opportunity to take part in the event even if they haven't got the chance to do so.

Tutor · 2 mo. ago

Yes, there is clear evidence that the learners made progress. For instance, Nat’s questions became increasingly focused, such as when they asked, “How do you record a video?” after you explained the certification process. This indicates that your explanations were effective in helping learners understand the steps they needed to take. Additionally, the PowerPoint’s clarity helped learners follow along and grasp key concepts, as evidenced by their engaged questions during the Q&A session.

Hi Helena's, Great job on your SAT math session! You were very well-prepared to teach the content in the lesson. Your slide deck was extremely thorough and you clearly put a lot of effort into it. You showed how to complete problems in a very intuitive way and provided helpful methods of remembering things such as the basement analogy for fractional exponents.

Great job working through helping this learner! You did a great job of assessing their needs and finding appropriate practice problems to work through.

Learner · 9 mo. ago

Starting the session off with introductions and talking about their journeys before giving learners the time to also introduce themselves was a good touch. This sets the scene for how the session will run. This also helps build a community among the tutors and learners which replated when the material started. There was no judgment when questions were asked and they truly tried to be the most helpful. They set a comfortable learning environment.

Tutor · 9 mo. ago

Learner · 2 mo. ago

You created a very comfortable and inclusive learning environment, which was evident through the positive interactions and encouraging tone you maintained throughout the session. When Arshan mentioned it was 3 AM, you responded with, “Wow! Really committed to onboarding,” acknowledging their effort and likely boosting their confidence. Your PowerPoint presentation also contributed to this positive environment by providing a clear and organized structure that made learners feel more at ease. During the Q&A session, your patience and thorough answers further strengthened learners’ confidence, as they felt supported in asking questions and seeking clarification. To continue building on this, keep using verbal affirmations, like when you said, “That’s a great summary!” to reinforce their understanding and confidence.

Tutor · 3 mo. ago

You demonstrated a strong understanding of the material, effectively using a well-structured and detailed PowerPoint presentation to guide learners through the session. The slides were clear and supported your explanations well. For instance, when you said, “So this is kind of like a time split… that’s how we will split today's session,” the visual aid helped the learners follow along with the session’s structure. Additionally, you outlined the benefits of tutoring, such as building skills, public speaking, and earning volunteer hours, which added valuable context. You mentioned, “You get to build skills, work on public speaking, and get volunteer hours, which are eligible for PVSA awards.” This clearly highlighted the personal advantages of participation.

Tutor · 3 mo. ago

Helena was super patient and gave great explanations that really helped me to understand the question!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

I liked your questions at the beginning such as "how's your August been" to create a comfortable environment. I also liked how you encouraged learner's to message you answers even if they aren't sure about it. It helped set a super comfortable learning environment. Overall, you were well-composed and very respectful throughout the entire session. Anyways, great job, and good luck on your college apps!

Tutor · 3 mo. ago
