The tutor did a very good job of setting up a safe space for all sorts of questions right from the beginning of the session, where she had mentioned that learners should feel completely free to ask any sort of questions they might have, even if it were atypical. They also did a great job of leading the learner to an answer instead of just completely taking over and explaining their way to the answer. She helped a learner solve a question by building up on the learner's knowledge and the thought train they had followed, and guided them along the way by providing hints and reflecting back to the grammar conventions they had discussed earlier in the session.

The tutor was very well prepared for the session, indicated by the smooth run of things, and seen through their explanations. One instance of this was when she went over a question after a learner had answered to validate the question and also provided them with a tip to eliminate an answer choice, which is a highly valuable tip for solving questions because not only does it help narrow down the answer through process of elimination, but in doing so also saves test takers time, which is of great essence during the SAT test.

The learners did seem to have made progress, and I was able to see that in one learner specifically, who seemed to understand the problem-solving process better as she worked through more and more problems, both with the tutor and on her own. This showed to me that the learner had not only understood the concept discussed in the session, but also understood how to apply it to questions when it comes to solving them. This tells me that the tutor is doing a good job of teaching the learners and helping them grow.
