Post-Session Comments
It looks like all of you have now completed the Post-Session Comments Training! Thank you so much for getting that done! One of the trends we have noticed is that we’re still seeing some comments about what students can be doing better. We want to focus only on what the student did, not what they didn’t do.
Here is an example:
Engaged – The student came in with a problem involving factoring a quadratic and finding the solutions. Initially, the student seemed unfamiliar with the process of factoring by grouping, but they did a good job once they understood the concept. They were already familiar with the zero-product property and were able to get the solutions using that. But they had to go, and hence could not verify the solutions through alternative means, or try a similar problem independently.
Thanks again for a great job in adapting to the needs of the teachers we support!
Tutor Spotlight
Congratulations to our tutor spotlight: Partha Sarathi Reddy Kamireddy! We were able to share this session with the whole team on Wednesday.
At first, the student didn’t know how to write the equation of a line. After Partha helped him with that, he focused on ending the session on a win by asking the student if he’d like to do a similar problem. The student ended up solving that similar problem in 5 minutes and stayed in the session for almost 2 hours! Here’s what the student had to say about the session: “this is the 3rd time I meet Mr k and he is amazing guy I am glad that I know him he is smart and have good explanation he is great teacher ♥️” Nice work, Partha!
In two weeks, we will pick our next tutor spotlight. Please fill out the Tutor Spotlight Nomination form so we can continue to celebrate the amazing interactions you have with students! Reminder that there is a $25 reward for being featured!
New Tutor Dashboard
Each of you should have had the opportunity to test out the new tutor dashboard, but if you haven’t yet, please email Sharon (sharon@yup.com) so she can set you up! We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback about the whiteboard and some constructive feedback about other features. Thank you for the feedback and please continue to let us know what you think so that the dashboard is reflective of your wants and needs!
On Monday, Sharon will reach out to half of you to have you test our dashboard and fill out a survey to give us feedback. If you are interested in being part of this group, please let Sharon know through Slack or email by Monday at noon.
