You excelled at creating a supportive and encouraging environment for Troy. Your patient tone and step-by-step guidance helped him feel comfortable asking questions and working through challenging problems. For example, when Troy made an error in a calculation, you calmly identified the mistake and explained how to correct it without making him feel rushed or judged. Additionally, your consistent use of positive reinforcement likely boosted his confidence in tackling AP Chemistry topics. To further strengthen this area, consider summarizing Troy’s achievements at the end of the session to reinforce his progress and motivate him for future learning.

You demonstrated a strong understanding of chemistry concepts, particularly in stoichiometry, molar mass calculations, and empirical formulas. Your explanations were clear and methodical, guiding Troy step-by-step through complex problems like calculating average atomic mass, determining empirical formulas, and analyzing mass spectrometry data. For example, your use of dimensional analysis to explain conversions between grams and moles was both accurate and accessible. Additionally, you effectively tied the material back to real-world applications, such as interpreting periodic trends and understanding molecular composition.

You effectively checked Troy’s prior knowledge by asking him to attempt problems independently before providing guidance. This approach allowed you to assess his understanding and tailor your explanations accordingly. For instance, when Troy expressed uncertainty about empirical formulas, you patiently broke down the steps and provided additional practice questions to build his confidence. You kept him engaged by encouraging active participation throughout the session, such as asking him to calculate values or interpret periodic table data. Additionally, you confirmed his progress by consistently validating his correct answers with positive reinforcement like “Exactly good” and offering constructive feedback when needed.
