Hi there! I am a fellow SAT tutor here on SHW, here's my feedback on your SAT Math Session (you did great! and you can do even better!)
You did a good job at covering many concepts using various methods, from substitution to desmos. You also were prepared with khan academy, as well as the question bank. I liked how you explained the different possibilities when a linear line intersects a parabola (at 10:30), you explained the underlying concept (number of solutions) in a reasonable way that is easy to understand.
You had occasional "slips" (such as mixing between the y and x intercepts in the first example, starting at 6:20), and getting the signs wrong (at 24:30),but you corrected yourself, which is great. I think laughing it off or complimenting the learner when she corrected you (in the second example) would have been a nice gesture, so keep that in mind for future sessions.
For the upcoming sessions, try to work more on determining WHY the learner finds a difficulty in a certain question type. Is it the concept that they do not know, are they confusing it with another concept, is it the wording, ... . This will be touched on again in the next part.
Note: I know that in this case the learner only asked to review some questions, but hey, they must want to review them for a reason ;)
