The instructor was extremely knowledgeable about the TOEFL exam and provided helpful strategies for each section. The class was well-structured, and I appreciated the variety of practice materials and tests provided. After completing this class, I feel much more confident about taking the TOEFL exam. I highly recommend it to anyone preparing for the TOEFL.

Great job starting the session by greeting the learner and then asking the learner how is she doing. This helps you create and strengthen a friendly environment. Also, I love how you refer to the learner by her name it makes the session feel more personalized.

Thank you so much for this bootcamp, I learned a lot and have improved a lot.

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Thanks for all practice problems that you discussed so nicely

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Your way of guiding through the thinking process is immaculate: I loved how we all first gave our explanations with differences and similarities, but ending up reaching a consensus!

Learner · 4 mo. ago

You did a good job of creating a supportive environment by regularly affirming the learner's efforts. For example, when the learner expressed uncertainty, you reassured them by saying, "It's okay, we can work through this together," which helped to maintain a positive tone throughout the session.

You did a great job! I loved how you made the explanations clear writing on a white board. It was especially great to see how you used visuals and drawings to make geometry questions much more clear and easy for the learners to understand, like in the triangle and the circle questions. You also gave profound insight into how to use function notation when asked to compute f(1+g(0)). Keep up the great work!

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

I observed that the learners were less confused as you led them through the problem-solving process. For example, I saw that Zinat was very confused with the question about the area of the triangle, and eventually she clearly understood each step. Well done!

Your session was consistently interactive, as seen in your approach of asking the learner to explain their reasoning during the calculations. This technique not only kept the learner engaged but also reinforced their understanding by encouraging them to articulate their thought process. You have consistently checked in with the learner to confirm their understanding before proceeding. After completing each step, you would ask questions like, "Does that make sense?" or "Any questions on this one?" which ensured the learner was keeping up with the material. This approach is crucial for building confidence and ensuring that the learner is not left behind.

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

You demonstrated a strong command of the material by effectively guiding the learner through complex chemistry problems, such as calculating moles and handling unit conversions. Your approach of asking questions like, "How do you think we can tackle that?" and "What would be the result if you divided mass by the number of moles?" encouraged the learner to engage actively and think critically about the problem. To further improve, consider offering more nuanced explanations for why certain steps are taken, such as when converting units or discussing the significance of using the percentage in calculations. This can help solidify the learner's understanding of the underlying concepts.

Yan, you did a great job at asking the learners about the topics they needed most help with. I really liked how you made the learners lead the problem-solving process, while asking questions to better understand their reasoning and thought process. For example, it was great when you asked Zinat for the formula of the volume of the pyramid, and I also liked when you asked "Can you repeat how did you get 64?" in order to better understand Zinat's thought process when dealing with the function notation question. It was great to see how you encouraged your learners to share their screens so as to better explain their reasonings, since it boosts active learning. Additionally, I liked how you asked your learners to think about solving the questions with and without Desmos, therefore providing a broader insight into how to solve each problems. In future sessions, I would recommend checking on the prior knowledge of the students before solving the problems, asking questions like "Are you already familiarized with function notation?" and "Have you already dealt with pyramid volume problems?". Overall, you did an amazing job at actively engaging your learners in the problem-solving process.
