You seem super friendly and straight to the point, I can't wait to improve my Math score from a 660 to (hopefully) and 760!!

Great first session, I'm really excited for the rest of the course!

You were highly adaptable and responsive to Mia's needs. When she mentioned a new problem type she wanted to review (quadratic formula), you immediately pivoted to cover it, even though it wasn't in your original plan. You correctly identified her memory gap and helped her recall the correct formula. You also showed great flexibility in your problem-solving approach. When Mia was struggling with a complex algebra problem, you first let her try it on her own. When she got stuck, you didn't just provide the textbook solution. You walked her through the manual method and then introduced an alternative, more efficient method using Desmos, explaining the pros and cons of each approach. This showed that you could adapt to both her problem-solving style and the nature of the Digital SAT.

You were well-prepared for the session, having a clear plan based on the student's requests to cover arcs/sectors, volume, and when to use Desmos. Your approach was structured and logical, starting with a general overview of each topic before diving into specific formulas and examples. Your knowledge of the material was strong and you were able to explain complex concepts in simple terms. You also correctly identified which formulas are provided on the SAT reference sheet versus those that need to be memorized, which is crucial, high-value information for a student the day before a test. You also showed a deep practical understanding of the test itself by pointing out what types of questions are common (volume questions for cylinders) versus those that are not (pyramid problems, lateral surface area). This strategic insight helps students focus their limited study time on the most important topics.

Thanks for the session.

Amazing job reassuring Yasmeen when she felt insecure about missing a problem she considered "easy" by sharing your own experience. This kind of reassurance is super helpful and encourages learners to share their mistakes so you can help them grow better!

Tutor · 2 mo. ago

Julianna noticed when Atika had trouble and gave a full explanation to help. She showed a second method and explained why it works well. She also gave advice on how to choose between Desmos and pen-and-paper. When Atika asked a question about Desmos, Julianna listened and responded with helpful tips. She adjusted her teaching to match what learners needed. This showed strong support and flexibility.

Thank you for this session I love how informative it was and I'm more ready to dedicate more of my time to studying

Learner · 2 mo. ago

This helped! Thank you :)

Learner · 2 mo. ago

I really love how interactive the session is. Super friendly, engaging and caring tutor!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Julianna’s warmth, personal sharing (like loving ice cream and playing trombone), and affirmations created a highly encouraging space. Her encouragement for learners to push beyond their comfort zone (“good to work on the advanced stuff”) was delivered in a friendly, non-intimidating way. She listened attentively to learners’ backgrounds and goals and validated their efforts, making this more than just a math session, it felt like a shared journey.

Tutor · 3 mo. ago

Julianna kicked off the math bootcamp with a warm welcome and an easy-to-follow plan. She clearly explained the session structure, goals, and logistics, like how many sessions there will be, when they happen, and how Bluebook and Khan Academy fit in. Her breakdown of SAT basics and how practice helps build familiarity was spot-on. She also introduced simple concepts like testing tips and guessing rules, setting the foundation for successful sessions ahead.

once again, just an extremely good teacher.

Learner · 5 days ago

Thank you for the session! It was very helpful!

Learner · 6 days ago

I love the practice we get and just how the class runs. She gives us formulas to memorize at the beginning and then there are practice quizzes, and then she explains questions at the end.

Learner · 6 days ago

Like the attention to detail

Learner · 10 days ago

very well explanations, extremely patient, overall you can just tell she's passionate about it which feeds into her teaching.

Learner · 11 days ago

Thank you for the session! I learned something that could help speed up my process of answering the question!

Learner · 11 days ago

100/10 orientation. No complaints. Super smooth clean feedback and presentation, super efficient, polite, welcoming, open minded, thoroughness in addressing and covering topics with students. Maybe connection issues/choppiness can be resolved?

Learner · 13 days ago

You did a good job answering all the questions.

Learner · 13 days ago

the tutor was very informative and gave very insightful feedback on my essay and the college application journey in general. thank you so much :)

Learner · 21 days ago

You did an excellent job of actively engaging Mia throughout the session. You started by congratulating her on her impressive practice test score, which built rapport and started the session on a positive note. You consistently checked for her understanding ("Does that make sense?") and encouraged her to explain her thought process. This was most evident during the algebra problem. Instead of just solving it for her, you asked her to walk through her steps ("What did you do to solve this question?"). When she made a calculation error, you didn't just give her the correct answer; you pinpointed exactly where she went wrong ("I got negative 3, I see, because I..."). This direct, immediate feedback helped her to identify and correct her mistake in real time, solidifying her understanding.

Thank you for all the sessions!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

My tutor, Julianna, was SO understanding and interactive!! She created a welcoming environment where she was very willing to answer my questions and even encourage it! I felt down before I talked to her regarding my previous score, but she reassured me that we'll get through this together and that she will do everything in her will to help me! 10/10 recommend!!! :) - Sanj VJ

Thanks for the session. Looking forward to working with you!

Learner · 2 mo. ago

The session was amazing thanks!

Learner · 2 mo. ago

Thank you so much for all your help! It was definitely useful to get a chance to see what worked for solving certain types of problems with trial and error, and I appreciated getting to review problems I was struggling with.

Learner · 2 mo. ago

There were some difficult questions, and you did a superb job of breaking the questions down and explaining the difficult spots.

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Julianna checked on audio and participation regularly and reassured learners about technical issues or confusion. She explained how to mark excused absences clearly and gave flexible options for communication. When learners had different levels of experience with the SAT, she tailored her responses to their needs like reminding Nana not to worry and explaining how the session would build foundational knowledge.

Tutor · 3 mo. ago

Julianna actively involved everyone through friendly icebreakers, name stories, and scenario-based questions. Her pacing allowed each learner time to contribute, and she responded with affirmations and curiosity. She encouraged sharing strategies for solving SAT questions and fostered an environment where students could be open about their experience and goals. Learners like Nana, Mia, and Molly were engaged and clearly felt comfortable speaking up.
