Shreeja S

I really like how you turned on your camera and showed your engagement in the session, which also helped students feel more comfortable around you and engage in the session. I also like the way you greeted Carriana at 00:00:18 by asking her, "Hi! Carriana! Is that how I say your name? I just wanna like, make sure." Referring to your learners by their name and learning how to pronounce their name is a great way to connect and create a respectful learning environment. You also do a great job at sparking conversation by saying "How are you doing? The week is starting today. How are you feeling?" This is great at getting a sense of where learners are at mentally and get them prepared for the session. You also do a great job making learners comfortable by adding ice breaker questions and adding your own personal anecdotes. Next time, you could also refer to learners' responses later in the session to create better connections with each learner and boost their engagement.

Yes, the tutor was very well prepared by using a Google Slides presentation and the Zoom annotation tool to demonstrate her work. You also did a great job helping students lead problem-solving while guiding them through the problem. When students made mistakes, you made sure to reinforce what they did correctly and correct them where they made a mistake. One example of this is at 00:25:11, when you said, "Yes, that's true. Okay, good points from both of you, and I like how you both went off the text. That's super important. But I want to like highlight one thing. What's the question here?" By recorrecting students, pointing them in the right direction, and highlight key parts of the question, you thoroughly demonstrate your mastery over the subject. Next time, you can also try to demonstrate a problem by yourself using the "I do" strategy before you let students attempt the problem on their own. This would be really beneficial for students since they will know how to approach and solve a problem step by step, including what key points to look for.

Hi, y'all were amazing at explaining the different concepts and it really helped me formalising them, since I know the rules but the tricks to quickly identify the wrong and right answers were great. Thank you for your time and effort for this!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Thank you so much for the session. I love how interactive it was. You are both so kind, friendly and super helpful.

Learner · 3 mo. ago

You both were upbeat and encouraging, which I think made it a comfortable environment. You created an environment where everybody could contribute without judgement and used all their names. You both also showed a bit of personality and included the ice-breaker at the beginning. All of these are the best practices, so good job.

Tutor · 3 mo. ago

She was very patient with all of us and took her time to make sure that we all understood why we got certain questions wrong and cleared our doubts! Her presentations are also very helpful with great tips and tricks!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

I like how you greeted all of your learners by their names! You confirmed how to say some of the learners' names and apologized if you said it wrong. This action shows your dedication to making all of your learners comfortable! During the intros, I liked how you encouraged learners to participate either in the chat or by un muting. I liked how when there was an echo you tried your best to fix it right away! You stated "we're so sorry about it. Yeah, we'll be taking care of it now." That was very caring and you were understanding of your learners need to fix the Zoom malfunction.

Tutor · 3 mo. ago

The intros are a great idea! You told learners to state "when you're giving the sat and a tip that you found really helpful." This part of the intro allows you to understand your learners pre-requisite knowledge about the SAT. Using this information from the intros, you can take your sessions to the next level. these responses can help you plan future sessions! You encouraged learners to answer practice questions yet did not pressure anyone to un mute or type their answer in the chat. when learners did not participate during the first question you stated "The right answer is B. Now does anyone want to share what they think it is and why?" This question encourages active learning. I know it can be challenging to try to have learners participate so you did an excellent job tackling this tricky situation.

Continue what your doing. Your teachings will infinitely help students especially with your passion. I think the way you allow students to think and helping them with their mistakes was the key to your teaching

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

Yes you developed a respectful learning environment and you made indirectly clear that it okay to mistakes

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

Deepest, Heartfelt gratitude!

Learner · 4 mo. ago

I don't know where the learners were at before the session so I can't say for sure, but during the session they definitely seemed to comprehend and apply the material you went over.

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

This series was amazing! I learnt a lot from her. I got really inspired by her!

Learner · 5 mo. ago

As always, it was great learning something new from her!

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Thank you for the session! It was really helpful. I admire your tutoring!

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Your explanations throughout the session were very insightful and effective in demonstrating specific concepts like the types of punctuation and the different types of nouns. I like how the slides where you talked about the different types of punctuation included where they typically go in a sentence, and I also thought your inclusion of examples on those slides worked well.

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

The learners made progress throughout the session, mostly while solving the practice problems. As they occasionally explained their answers, they were able to incorporate concepts that were present in the content portion of the session at the beginning. Also, they asked questions relating to the material that showed they are developing a better understanding of the content.

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

She's pretty humble! Her explanations are super detailed. Looking forward to more of her sessions!

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Super helpful review! Everyone's input on their assigned sections were both helpful and thorough :)

Learner · 6 mo. ago

I appreciated this session a lot! It helped me understand the ins and outs of the Digital SAT better, and I enjoyed going through questions from some of the practice tests. The hosts were kind, sharing their tips and letting everyone else explain their reasoning and strategies that worked for them. Thanks for hosting such an interactive session!

Learner · 9 mo. ago

It was great! There was no difficulty with the learner, and she was pretty. friendly

Tutor · 9 mo. ago

I loved the way the shreeja explains , literally so good

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Both tutors looked fantastic in terms of knowledge and prep! The slideshow and worksheet worked perfectly with their explanations, and they managed to clarify any questions with ease. I don't have many pointers of improvement because you pretty much nailed all visuals and examples too!

Tutor · 10 mo. ago

Shreeja was helpful and interactive. She cleared all doubts and made everything easier to understand

Learner · 10 mo. ago

Yes. Your learner(s) definetely understood what you were teaching, that was clear. You were really in depth with your explanations and your learner was very thankful for your tutoring. Nice job!

Tutor · 11 mo. ago

You have a great understanding of conjunctions. All of your explanations were correct and in-depth, showing that you were highly educated on the subject. Nice job using PowerPoint and other visuals. Visuals are very helpful for many learners when they are learning.

Tutor · 11 mo. ago

Thank you, Shreeja. You are very smart and helpful.

Learner · 11 mo. ago

The tutor checked in with the learner and asked if they wanted a break before starting. That was notable and done well.

Tutor · 11 mo. ago

I think you did a really good job checking prior understanding, The session was based on the understanding of a specific learning and you tailored your material to that. If I had one piece of advice it would be to include the second learner. Yes the session was meant for a specific learner, but that learner had said they wanted to study everything and the other learning had mentioned a specific thing. Maybe throwing in one or two problems geared towards both learners could help. I chose intermediate for adapting to unique learner needs because I think you did a good job asking for learner engagement and adjusting explanations. I think you did a good job engaging the learners. I do think sometimes the explanations did go for a little bit without learner engagement, but overall asking for them to solve the problems and why they got answers was well done. Lastly I liked how you always checked if they understood the problems or had questions. And then to close you asked how you could better your teaching to the students. Great Job!

Tutor · 1 yr. ago

Thank you for the session. It was a big help for me and thank you for your effort

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you sm for this insightful session, Shreeja; even though it was your first experience, you literally aced it! Look forward to future meetings

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Yes, there is evidence that learners made progress since learners who made mistakes were able to get thorough explanations from the tutor and were able to verbalize that they understood their mistakes afterwards. Over the course of the session, learners were also able to use the tips and strategies given to be more effective in answering problems.

Tutor · 3 mo. ago

I can't find the words to express my gratitude towards you. What you are doing is amazing and I honestly hope there were more people like you. Your work ethic is exceptional and I truly admire. You two are the reason why I feel confident in myself and I am very thankful. I had no other source of tutoring, so I was utterly nervous before entering your courses. Now, I realise I am the luckiest person in the world to have met you and have been tutored by you. It was my honour!!!!!! Hope to see you again, Styliani

Learner · 3 mo. ago

The lesson was beyond amazing!!! It was super exciting to learn great tips that I believe to be very helpful! You guys were both super patient interactive and allowed to freely express ourselves and ask you all of our questions. Being from Greece and not being able to afford any other type of lessons I am beyond euphoric to express my gratitude towards you!!!!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

She helped all of us with our doubts and never hesitated to explain as many times as we requested!!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

You encouraged me to handle sat test (and my nervousness-excitement for sure:) )with your "we don't judging,we just learning here" attitude.I really appreciate that😌🤍

Learner · 3 mo. ago

She was so interactive and friendly with all of us and gave amazing answer explanations! She took her time to explain our doubts and always made sure to know whether we needed help on something or wanted further clarification!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

You asked learners about their past experience with the SAT. This is a great question as it can help you understand the learners needs. When a learner asked you about the challenges of losing focus during the SAT, you responded by saying "And then also you have a 10 min break between English and math. This is kind of more generally in the test as a whole, but I would make sure you take something that's like that's like a quick burst of good sugar, not like sugar, sugar, but like something fruit that way. The energy comes to you immediately, and it's easier to focus" This is a great personalized response that I am sure the learner will remember! The learner sounded very relieved and appreciated your response!

Tutor · 3 mo. ago

how GREAT Shree and Anaya ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ thank you so much for such adequate explanations, friendly vibe and your fabulous slides :3

Learner · 3 mo. ago

appreciate your help and time, Shreeja! now, I'll pay much more attention to details in tricky questions

Learner · 4 mo. ago

I really like how you guys discuss and plan before the session even starts! For example, you guys chat to be clear on who is doing what, and how you guys are going to cover the material, which indicates your preparedness.

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

I loved how you went over why the answers were wrong and also what to do to make the answers correct (like using commas + FANBOYS for two independent clauses). I struggled a lot with punctuation, but this session definitely helped! I look forward to joining your future sessions!

Learner · 4 mo. ago

This was a great session that covered almost all of the english section and I feel so much more confident about my abilities. Thank you so much for your help again.

Learner · 4 mo. ago

LITERALLY A GOAT ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ keep it up Shreeja (｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ *and i'll be here for more sessions (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Learner · 4 mo. ago

I really liked the new system for submitting our answers through the poll because it makes the chat a little less chaotic. I also as always loved the explanations and how interactive it was.

Learner · 4 mo. ago

Nice that you ramped up the difficulty of the problems. You're helpful!

Learner · 4 mo. ago

Thank you for the session! Your class is super funnnn!!

Learner · 4 mo. ago

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

Thank you for this session! I love how interactive it was.

Learner · 4 mo. ago

I think that you were good about being respectful when learners needed help and making it feel like a safe place to be confused and ask questions.

Tutor · 4 mo. ago

Loved both the sessions I was in. Really boosted up my confidence on SAT reading and writing.

Learner · 4 mo. ago

Thanks you Shreeja You are the best teacher I've ever had!

Learner · 5 mo. ago

So in love with all of your sessions, really! That's great that you help us improving our weak areas and make sure everybody keeps up

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Thank you so much for the session! I love how you teach the basics and then go to practice. Because usually, some tutors would go into practice. Most students might need the foundation or the review first before jumping into the practice. What you did was very nice! It did help me! Thank you again for doing that! :)

Learner · 5 mo. ago

This session was awesome! Since I'm kinda weaker in vocab questions I've got to learn so many new words and some good strategies to answer those type of questions...I'm pretty grateful for getting an opportunity to learn from such a great tutor!

Learner · 5 mo. ago

excellent session as usual! thanks for giving everyone an equal chance to speak out and share their explanations xx

Learner · 5 mo. ago

You effectively engaged learners using the "I do" and "we do" strategies nicely. First off, while explaining the problems, one strategy I particularly liked is that in one instance, you asked a question relating to your explanation and told your learners to answer it in the chat. That way, even though you were still the one explaining, your learners were able to get involved. I also liked how you actively encouraged your learners to volunteer to explain their answers to the questions. This way, your learners were able to describe their thought processes, and through this, you were able to properly critique them if they got the wrong answer.

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

You did a really good job of establishing a comfortable environment right from the start of your session. Your welcome question was a good way to make everybody comfortable with speaking. Additionally, your supportive attitude throughout the session was particularly helpful -- when students got a question wrong, you corrected them in an uplifting way, rather than a condescending one.

Tutor · 5 mo. ago

TYSM I hope it goes well with the learners!!

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Thank you for the session! It was very helpful to go over all the important things one last time before taking the SAT. Thank you once again!

Learner · 6 mo. ago

I loved how patient and interactive the tutors were.

Learner · 6 mo. ago

You keep the session fun and casual while covering all the topics. Honestly, I just reallyy enjoy the sessions!

Learner · 6 mo. ago

Really enjoyed the session. Thank you! You're very nice and friendly

Learner · 6 mo. ago

It was awwesome

Learner · 6 mo. ago

The session was really useful for receiving tips for test days.

Learner · 7 mo. ago

Thank you so much for helping me today! I really appreciate it

Learner · 7 mo. ago

Shreeja explains the concept perfectly. She understands what the learner needs, regularly askes for questions, and best of all, creates a very comfortable learning environment.

Tutor · 9 mo. ago

Yes, she gave them an exercise work to do, and even thought they got some wrong, she slowly and friendly approached the mistake.

Tutor · 9 mo. ago

Yes, the learners understood English grammar like gerunds at the end fully.

Tutor · 10 mo. ago

I like how you guys set up a very comfortable environment by introducing yourself and asking about a snippet of the learners' lives to break the ice. That vibe carried into the session, so great job!

Tutor · 10 mo. ago

Thank you for this session! We learned tons about the DSAT's format, went through practice problems, and there was tons of participation amongst the attendees that felt natural and comfortable. I am looking forward towards the rest of the series!

Learner · 10 mo. ago

The constant discussion that you had with your learners helped to make them more comfortable with you and your teaching. This creates a learning environment in which learners feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and be themselves.

Tutor · 11 mo. ago

You did a nice job answering your learners' questions and tailoring your session to their specific needs. You continuously engaged your learners with conversation and explanation about different conjunctions and parts of speech. You did an awesome job to teach your learners and ask them questions, as well as effectively helping the learner understand the material.

Tutor · 11 mo. ago

Yeah, the learner made a good amount of progress towards understanding

Tutor · 11 mo. ago

You definitely understood the questions yourself. For example when you were explaining question one on the Course Challenge it is obvious you knew what was going on. You read through the question and were able to pull specific details like the ballerina aspect. You even looked at the question through a different perspective and if you were talking about India. I think sometimes your explanations were slightly lengthy and wordy, but the message was given very well and you definitely knew how to do these problems.

Tutor · 1 yr. ago

I think learners were comfortable. I like that you introduced yourself to both and welcomed them. I especially liked when you gave a little more background about yourself when explaining some problems. I think you were definitely able to create a comfortable learning environment. WIth strengthening learners' confidence, overall I think you did well, just if maybe you let them explain their mistake a little longer or how they got there instead of asking why that may not be the answer. Overall I feel learners were pretty comfortable in the environment and you did a great job creating that.

Tutor · 1 yr. ago

Thank you, Shreeja. It was simple and valuable explanation.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you thank you so much! You explain everything so well and are very patient, making sure I understand the concept

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thanks again Shreeja. Youre teaching is amazing. I love it and how you try and keep the class intercative

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thanks for the whole thing it really worked out to be great, thankyou!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

The session was entirely focused on solving practice questions and you did a good job throughout. Firstly, asking your learner what they would like to learn was good. The Walkthroughs with her was great. You allowed her to attempt the questions first and then explained where she wasn't clear. In some explanations, you also offered effective tips and strategies too. I also liked that you didn't explain concepts in a difficult manner when the questions were difficult.

Tutor · 1 yr. ago

The beginning of the session was very effective. You showed genuine interest in helping the learner i.e asking them about their feelings and preparations as well as offering helpful strategies. This I noticed helped her to be comfortable. You consistently gauged their knowledge throughout the practice tests and interactions were great.

Tutor · 1 yr. ago

can't thank you enough, Shreeja!!! super cool session along with useful tips:)

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thanks so much Shreeja, I understand the circle theorms now and i feel confident to tackle these type of questions

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thanks Shreeja for your precious time explaining the concepts. I may not been able to answer every question correctly, but I was still made comfortable by you to trust the process so ended up trying my best.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

The explanations were super detailed and systematic, covering every single aspect and multiple choice of a question. Thank you so much for the help, Shreeja!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

I loved the session.

Learner · 1 yr. ago
