Thank you for the series Ilya! It was very helpful to learn all these grammar rules, and I can't wait to use them! I appreciate how you wanted us to take notes and really learn the rules through application with the assessments. I also appreciate how you often checked on everyone for questions. It shows how much you care and what a great tutor you are!

Thank you so much Ilya!! I loved the tips you gave and I appreciated your emphasis on analyzing mistakes. Your patience during this session was admirable. Even though you kept having to repeat yourself and people were asking the same questions, you answered each one thoroughly at the end and even stayed overtime. Amazing tutor!

Thank you for this session! All of the resources were extremely helpful. All of the explanations had multiple examples, making it really easy to learn. Thank you for going out of your way, by holding an extra office hours session to answer more questions. You made the content really straight forward to learn.

I really appreciate this series as I have been struggling with the grammar part of the RW section. This series helped clear up a lot of my confusion. I felt like the second day was a little rushed so maybe splitting Day 2 into 2 sessions might help. Thank you!

Thanks so much for today's session! Your "psychologist" voice really made the session feel warm and welcoming. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next one! By the way, I'm glad you liked the feedback I gave you on the peer review. I just saw that you featured it! :)

Great job asking follow-up questions and taking the position of a learner, not just a tutor. I noticed how you got a bit confused by one of the learner’s descriptions, and you were open about it—asking clarifying questions and working through the confusion together. That kind of humility and curiosity models great learning behavior and helps build trust with your students.

Thank you for the session!

Clearly explained how to approach problems and walked through the underlying logic. Also offered multiple opportunities for students to ask questions and participate. The tutor also had an assessment and a practice problem document prepared, so very organized and had a clear plan laid out for the session!

Tips were personalized for different score ranges, like under 600 vs. targeting 800. The tutor broke strategies down based on skill level, acknowledging how learning needs shift based on proficiency. They also gave examples of real-life challenges (e.g. waking up early, losing focus in dense reading passages) and how to overcome them with practical tools like caffeinated gum, chocolate, or mindset shifts. This showed strong emotional intelligence and an understanding of test-day psychology. Adaptability was evident throughout.

This course was super helpful!

Learner · 24 days ago

The session was highly interactive—learners introduced themselves, asked questions throughout, and Ilya responded with patience and encouragement. He balanced between presenting and checking for understanding well. To enhance participation even more, Ilya could occasionally cold-call (gently) or pose multiple-choice “poll-style” questions to break up lecture sections and maintain momentum.
