I really like how you turned on your camera and showed your engagement in the session, which also helped students feel more comfortable around you and engage in the session. I also like the way you greeted Carriana at 00:00:18 by asking her, "Hi! Carriana! Is that how I say your name? I just wanna like, make sure." Referring to your learners by their name and learning how to pronounce their name is a great way to connect and create a respectful learning environment. You also do a great job at sparking conversation by saying "How are you doing? The week is starting today. How are you feeling?" This is great at getting a sense of where learners are at mentally and get them prepared for the session. You also do a great job making learners comfortable by adding ice breaker questions and adding your own personal anecdotes. Next time, you could also refer to learners' responses later in the session to create better connections with each learner and boost their engagement.

Yes, the tutor was very well prepared by using a Google Slides presentation and the Zoom annotation tool to demonstrate her work. You also did a great job helping students lead problem-solving while guiding them through the problem. When students made mistakes, you made sure to reinforce what they did correctly and correct them where they made a mistake. One example of this is at 00:25:11, when you said, "Yes, that's true. Okay, good points from both of you, and I like how you both went off the text. That's super important. But I want to like highlight one thing. What's the question here?" By recorrecting students, pointing them in the right direction, and highlight key parts of the question, you thoroughly demonstrate your mastery over the subject. Next time, you can also try to demonstrate a problem by yourself using the "I do" strategy before you let students attempt the problem on their own. This would be really beneficial for students since they will know how to approach and solve a problem step by step, including what key points to look for.

Yes, there is evidence that learners made progress since learners who made mistakes were able to get thorough explanations from the tutor and were able to verbalize that they understood their mistakes afterwards. Over the course of the session, learners were also able to use the tips and strategies given to be more effective in answering problems.

I can't find the words to express my gratitude towards you. What you are doing is amazing and I honestly hope there were more people like you. Your work ethic is exceptional and I truly admire. You two are the reason why I feel confident in myself and I am very thankful. I had no other source of tutoring, so I was utterly nervous before entering your courses. Now, I realise I am the luckiest person in the world to have met you and have been tutored by you. It was my honour!!!!!! Hope to see you again, Styliani
