Maggie L

Maggie was really attentive when the learner showed signs of confusion—she noticed right away when Asreen hesitated or gave an unsure answer and responded with patience and support. For example, when Asreen struggled with completing the square, Maggie didn’t rush through it. Instead, she broke it down slowly, asked what part felt unclear, and walked her through each piece until it clicked. That really showed that she was trying to understand why the student was stuck, not just fix the mistake. She also adapted really well by changing her explanation style when something wasn’t working. Like when the equation of a circle was confusing, Maggie switched to talking about the graph visually—using the midpoint between two x-values as a way to find the center. That shift made the concept more understandable for the student. Overall, Maggie clearly adjusts based on the learner’s needs and is very responsive to moments of struggle. Her support felt super personalized, and that made a big difference.

You also were patient and careful with your explanations even when the student didn’t answer correctly. You were supportive along the way and were sure that you weren't going too fast or doing too much without the student understanding. You asked her questions frequently to keep her engaged and made sure to keep asking if what you were doing was ok. You also made the student feel very comfortable by not asking her to share her video even though you did and respected her choice to stay off camera.
