Amazing explanations thanks for the session!

Learner · 5 days ago

Thank you very much, Varsha. It was a great session. Wish you the best.

Learner · 10 days ago

Thanks for the 1 on 1 class. It taught me a lot about MCQs

Learner · 12 days ago

When learners struggled, Varsha broke problems into smaller, more manageable steps and provided alternate explanations. She adjusted her pacing to ensure everyone was following along, showing strong attentiveness to the group’s needs.

Tutor · 15 days ago

Varsha started with a clear focus on key SAT Math concepts, particularly linear equations and systems. She outlined the goals, explained the necessary formulas, and walked through example problems step-by-step. This organization ensured learners understood both the content and the objectives before moving into practice

Learner · 23 days ago

Thank you for your help! Looking forward to the upcoming sessions!

Learner · 24 days ago

Thank you so much for the great explanations! I can't wait for the next session! Also, it might be helpful to us learners if you wait 5 minutes or so before starting the content to give everyone some time to join!

Learner · 24 days ago

Thank you for the session! I learned so much about AP Physics 1. I was worried about taking it with no prior physics knowledge, but hearing your experience made me less concerned!

Learner · 24 days ago

Varsha responded thoughtfully when learners hesitated, misanswered, or had technical limitations. She broke down complex passages (e.g., the British club in Calcutta or economic motivations for imperialism) in digestible steps, highlighting how to approach stimulus-based questions on the AP exam. Her use of guided annotation and emphasis on context clues demonstrated strong pedagogical instincts. She also adjusted time slightly when needed, acknowledging that she went a bit over but balancing that with clear, concise summaries to ensure content delivery didn’t feel rushed.

Tutor · 25 days ago

Varsha consistently invited learner engagement by incorporating interactive MCQs throughout and giving learners time to reflect and respond. She followed up on answers by calling on specific students (e.g., Evangeline and Vishvak) to explain their reasoning—praising their use of textual evidence and demonstrating how to support answers with historical context. Even when students couldn’t unmute, she adapted by encouraging them to use the chat, affirming their contributions, and modeling the correct approach.

Thank you for the session, I loved how interactive it was!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you so much the session!!!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

While I was monitoring chat, I noticed that your learners were getting the MCQ question correct, which is a sign that they are understanding the content. At the end of the session, I also noticed one of your learners typing "thank you very much!" This, and the overall vibe of the session, clearly shows that learners are comfortable asking questions answering your questions, and overall have a clear grasp on the content. Amazing job!

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

You both were prepared and have a deep understanding of the content, from the detailed slides to the past experiences between both of the tutors, I could tell based on the Zoom meeting that you were prepared and ready to learn! I also loved the MCQ questions you used for both a transitional phrase and a warm up. It's pretty creative and something that I've rarely seen tutors do overall. Keep up the good work!

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

Really good

It really helped

Learner · 1 mo. ago

This was the best tutoring session for me!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

I'd like for the session to go a bit slower, and the slides could be a bit less crowded, but overall great session!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you for the session! I loved how interactive the class was but I felt it moved a little to fast for me level since I am a bit of a newbie to Spanish. Other than that though, I found your session very friendly.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

You do a good job building confidence and also creating a comfortable learning environment, which is evident by your quick introduction in the beginning.

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

Thank you for the session! I liked how you explained things

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Good job with introducing yourself and giving your qualifications to the learners. Consider asking your learners to introduce themselves as well in order to further build a connection, especially since this seems to be the first session. Good job with providing some encouragement to learners when they get questions correct!

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

You came prepared with visually appealing slides and a clear path for the session to take. Good job spending the start of the class explaining the series' purpose and what you would be covering. You also did a great job explaining concepts such as positive and negative functions, the horizontal line test, and increasing/decreasing. You clearly have a deep and thorough understanding of the material.

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

Thanks

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you so much for the session! Varsha was patient and able to reexplain concepts that I was not able to understand the first time.

Learner · 22 days ago

I think you go into amazing detail and explain concepts very well. One small note would be to be a little more interactive with your audience.

Learner · 23 days ago

Thank you for taking this initiative to share your knowledge on the AP Physics 1 course! I'm a little nervous about this class since I have no previous background with physics, but I'm grateful for your helpful sessions!

Learner · 24 days ago

It was nice

Learner · 24 days ago

Varsha fostered an encouraging, warm environment. Her affirmations (“great job,” “really good explanation,” “you’re absolutely right”) helped validate student thinking and keep morale high. She highlighted strategies like elimination on MCQs, use of text evidence, and understanding test traps—instilling confidence in exam-specific skills while also deepening content understanding. She also encouraged students to see patterns across the unit (e.g., imperialism's ties to industrialization, migration consequences, and economic exploitation), building connections between content and test success.

Tutor · 25 days ago

Varsha delivered a masterfully organized and content-rich session. Her pacing, transitions, and scaffolding clearly reflected thorough preparation. She not only covered all the major subtopics of Unit 6—including economic imperialism, migration, resistance movements, and global economic shifts—but also layered in maps, timelines, multiple-choice questions, and images to reinforce the content. She demonstrated a strong command of the historical content, explaining both familiar and nuanced concepts (e.g., guano as fertilizer, monoculture consequences, King Leopold’s atrocities, and opium trade dynamics) with clarity and detail.

Tutor · 25 days ago

Thank you for this session! I was wondering if you could suggest any books or other practice material for this class?

Learner · 26 days ago

Thank You

Learner · 28 days ago

thank you

Learner · 30 days ago

Thanks for the session, Varsha. I found it both interesting and informative.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you for the class, Varsha; it was fantastic!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Throughout the lesson, I did notice how both tutors were checking chat, both for answers and giving out clarifications for learners who did not attend their last session. That small detail is something I've often seen tutors ignore. Great job!

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

Although your tutoring style is more lecture-based rather than interactive, I did wish learners interacted more outside of chat. Using MCQ-style questions as breaks rather than spending the entire session with lectures was nice. I also loved how both tutors had explanations for the answers, which helps learners learn patterns in answering future questions.

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

Thanks for the session even though no one else came you still explained it well.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

thank you!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thanks for this session. I loved how you put practice MCQs as a way to make sure that we were following along!

Learner · 1 mo. ago

It was explained briefly and I was able to understand the info easily.

Very good

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you for the session! It was amazing.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

You do a good job preparing for the session, as you have a slideshow and practice problem ready. You also do a good job of explaining the material clearly and answering questions.

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

Good job with keeping an eye on the chat to see if learners have any questions or need clarifications. To improve consider taking pauses at the end of your concept explanation and asking questions like "did that make sense?" or "does anyone need further clarification on this concept?" This will allow you to further adapt to your learners needs. You did an excellent job with answering learners questions clearly and shifting towards being the one to check in with learners as you cover content will only improve the quality of your sessions.

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

Great job with providing problems for learners to practice the skills. I would suggest engaging your learners more with solving the problems and providing them more opportunities to either attempt the problems or explain how they got certain answers. Overall though you did a good job at engaging the learners using the chat feature and providing more opportunities for learners to attempt problems on their own first will make your sessions even better!

Tutor · 1 mo. ago

This seesion was really nice it helped me grasp the basics of Human Geo. Its a tough crowd but u did good.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you for the session! Could you possibly incorporate more speaking practice in the next session?

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you so much Varsha. Varsha was able to help me using the white board feature to write, break down and explain the equation for me which enabled me to understand it better.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thank you for this session!!
