It was clear that you were experienced in how you would approach your tutoring pace when it came to tutoring this learner. Throughout this session, it never felt like you were going too fast or too slow, and whenever your learner wanted to change the range of difficulty of the problem, you didn't let that dictate the pace or teaching style of the session which is a nice consistency. My favorite part about this session was how you approached the weak points of your learner. Whenever your learner was struggling, you didn't immediately tell them the answer, but instead asked questions that gradually built up to the answer.

You did an excellent job with engagement this session. Your learner was never distracted and always stayed on task with the practice problems. Additionally, I could see that they were also taking the lead on the practice problems themselves, and you did a fantastic job acting as a guide and vocal support when they struggled. You also set up the problems perfectly in which the environment dictated the learner to be able to understand the material to the point they understand why they did every step. Take for example, when you were explaining how to factor complex quadratics (one problem in this session was 3x^2-11x+6), you took your time explaining the logic behind how to solve this question very nicely up until the very last step.

Throughout this session, it was clear that the learner was understanding the material better and better. There's not much to be said there. I loved how your learning environment was structured. You made it so that you and your learner were both having a learning experience and made it an open space to make mistakes. Near the end of the session, both of you were struggling a little bit with the Venn Diagram problems but you never waivered and instead made a good effort trying to understand the material and solutions so you could could explain it to your learner. Great job!

I know you have a deep understanding of the material you were teaching to your learner (quadratics, functions) because you were able to use basic analogies and examples (one time in this session, while explaining sets, you used a frown vs smiley face analogy that your learner was able to understand) that allowed your learner to better understand their material. Your learner was never confused or showed doubt when you used this technique. I loved how you tried to tackle any and all doubts with questions such as "are you REALLY sure" and that is good acknowledgement of the fact that learners may sometimes forget something or be too afraid to admit.
