John Y

I liked how you asked the learners what prior experience they had with programming at the beginning. An example of that was when Yu had some Python experience but none with C++ so far. I also liked how during the code demos you asked the learners if they would do something next or why you did something or what the result is. Keep it up! See if you can make your next sessions even better by asking these questions to the learners in a deeper way. Consider that they might learn better if they are more involved in answering questions on their own. For example, you could make a practice problem on a slide and switch to that after you do a code demo. Then, the learners put their answer in the chat or you ask one of them what their answer is and how they got it. If you're having trouble switching between code demos and slides then you could also put practice problem slides at the end or make a Schoolhouse assessment to gauge the learners' progress. Either way, I can't wait to see your next sessions!

Thank you for your help! It was great how you called on people, really broke down the questions, and were patient when someone did not grasp something quickly.

Learner · 9 mo. ago

Thank you John for this great session! He was super friendly to us and patient with my questions. He has some great explanations.

Learner · 9 mo. ago

John went over some of the nonconventional ways of finding solutions in the SAT math section which was really nice to see. I learned alot from this session and am very grateful for the help. I'd most definitely recommend John to any scholars passing by.

Learner · 10 mo. ago

I was a bit late, but John's explanations were super helpful regardless.

Learner · 10 mo. ago

I like how he actually calls on each student to answer questions and really make sure everyone can understand the concepts.

Learner · 10 mo. ago

This cleared up some topics that I struggled with!!

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Thanks for going over all the options, and asking students to give their own explanations. It helped me understand a lot better.

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Thanks alot for the session . I really enjoyed it and eagerly llook forward to the next ones.

Learner · 10 mo. ago

very helpful, the explanation was very clear :D thanks !!

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Thank you for your flexibility!

Learner · 11 mo. ago

Thank you for this session ....it was really helpful to identify my weak areas.

Learner · 11 mo. ago

Thank you so much for the session! You were very knowledgeable about chemistry, and your explanations helped me a lot.

Learner · 11 mo. ago

I learned a lot about the process of coding, Thank you!

Hi John! I'm reviewing your C++ session today. Something you did great here in your session was to explain the C++ content in a way where you can see some of the underlying concepts. I know C++ has tons of weird, tricky underlying concepts, so I liked that you covered some of them here. For example, when you say why we use int for an integer type, which is because it's simple and small, as well as because that's just what the integer type symbol is defined as. Something that might improve your next sessions is if you included some visuals in addition to doing the hands-on code demos. With purpose-made aids, such as charts of types, learners might be able to better understand these underlying concepts such as the dizzying array of different types you can choose from in C++. If you find that this helps then run with it for all your next programming sessions!

Thank you for helping me today! I really appreciate how you call on everyone and that you help us understand where we went wrong rather than just telling us the correct answer.

Learner · 9 mo. ago

John made sure everybody participated and it was overall a nice experience

Learner · 9 mo. ago

Thanks for really breaking down the questions well. It made it really easy to learn where I went wrong so that I can correct my mistakes for the future.

Learner · 9 mo. ago

thank you so much! I love how you break things down and explain things step by step

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Thank you for teaching, this will sure help going into my sophomore year of high school when I take APCSA

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Very interactive and great explanations.

Learner · 10 mo. ago

I learned a lot just from this one session, can't wait for the next one!

Learner · 10 mo. ago

i liked how he got input for everyone and it was super interactive with seeing why an answer choice was right or wrong. super helpful session!

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Thank you for this session. I enjoyed learning how to type cast!

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Thank you so much for these past few sessions, it kind of increased my confidence in taking the SAT

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to host this lesson! I appreciate you!

Learner · 11 mo. ago

I really liked the flexibility of the session.

Learner · 11 mo. ago

Thanks for the awesome session. I really appreciate how you both were actively answering doubts of the learners.
