Thanks for being understanding and going above and beyond with explaining concepts!

I liked the active whiteboard, as seeing math in process allows the student to understand it much better. I also really loved that they talked about splitting concepts up to better comprehend the concepts. Something that could be improved is just being a little more prepared for possible questions. Of course, with the scope of calculus this is difficult, so I think the tutor did the best that they could.

I think the tutor did the best they could with the student responding through chat. I was surprised at how upbeat they were in spite of this issue. I also really liked how they were acting humble when explaining concepts, as it makes the student feel a lot more comfortable asking questions.

You definately have a very firm and immediately available knowledge of the content you were reviewing with the student! Your use of the whiteboard to give the classic drawing and graphical explanation oft he derivative was done very well and it is obvious that you are experienced both in the mathematical side of this but also in the tutoring side. While your drawings and explanations were very well done, they could have been slowed down a bit to ensure the student is completely following. While the principles you were explaining were relatviely straightforward, slowing down a bit and adding a few more details could help deliver your message more effectively. For example, your explanation jumped from secant lines to tangent lines very abruptly near the start of the session. Besides this, you did very well! I really liked how you admitted when you were unsure of a certain proof for a trignometric formula but proceeded to give the learner some resources on how they could find it out for themselves after the session.
