You came in well-prepared with a full set of practice questions that gradually increased in difficulty. Right from the start, you explained the session structure: practice problems, optional Q&A, and rescheduling time at the end (01:04). You also told the learner to open Desmos and have a pencil ready, which helped them set up for success. Your explanations throughout the session were consistently clear, and you showed a strong understanding of math content, from solving systems of equations to interpreting exponential growth/decay. One thing you did particularly well was walking through concepts step by step. For example, in the function question (f(a) = 10), you broke down the meaning of plugging into a function and showed why a = 35 using reasoning the learner could follow (around 06:00-08:00). You also returned to earlier ideas when needed, like reinforcing how to interpret percent change in exponential models with multiple examples (throughout 55:00-01:00:00). That kind of layering helps learners build long-term understanding.

You adapted frequently and smoothly throughout the session. When the learner brought up a problem they had trouble with previously (the Spanish Club statistics question) you pivoted to that mid-session and gave a clear walkthrough using simplified fractions and mental math (around 03:00). When the learner seemed uncertain, you offered simpler examples to build confidence, like when you broke down how to interpret function notation and later gave a separate example for “f(2) = x + 5” before returning to the original problem. You also used checks for understanding, often asking “Do you see how I got that?” or “Are you kind of confused?” and used their answers to decide whether to move on or review further. That showed strong awareness of how the learner was doing in real time.

You kept the session interactive from beginning to end. You regularly asked the learner to plug things into Desmos, answer questions out loud, and explain their reasoning. You often followed up with “Can you explain how you got that?” or “Do you see how I did that?” which encouraged deeper thinking and reflection. For example, when discussing the exponential growth model, you walked the learner through how to interpret the base of the equation, then gave a series of similar practice problems and asked them to identify the percent change (e.g., “What percent is this increasing or decreasing by?” around 55:00-01:00:00). You also responded flexibly when the learner asked to skip certain problems (e.g., “Skip to number 6?”), showing that you were paying attention to their preferences and needs in the moment.

You created a supportive and encouraging learning environment. You were patient throughout, even when problems took a while to explain, and you praised correct answers with enthusiasm (“Yeah, good job!” or “You’re right!”). You regularly asked the learner how they were feeling (“Was that helpful?” “Do you kind of understand that?”), and you adjusted your explanations based on what they said. You also showed that you were thinking about the learner’s goals long-term. For example, letting them know, “You’re guaranteed to see one of these on the SAT” during the exponential modeling section. You wrapped up the session by helping them schedule a follow-up and offering to review any practice problems they bring next time, which helped maintain momentum and showed that you care about their progress beyond just this one meeting.
