Hey everyone, I had the amazing opportunity to observe Airi’s high school maths session.

It was great to see how friendly her student was and how well they got along. Her student was very comfortable with Airi! They had a great relationship and they got along really well. They started the session by going through the Cambridge maths textbook. They went through some trigonometry content before they did some practice questions. Airi explained to her student how to find sine, cos and tan in right angled triangles. They applied trigonometry to an unknown length on both a long and short sided triangle. Airi started with some easier trigonometry questions and once she thought her student really understood the concept and how to apply it she then started to give her student some medium and then harder questions. They eventually ended up doing some extension textbook questions.

Airi then made sure she gave her student some trigonometry questions for homework, so her student can practice what they went through in their tutoring session at home. Once her student had finished each question Airi marked it. She then went through any mistakes her student had made. She then explained in detail the correct solution. She also would write out her working out and draw triangles and diagrams to help her student visually understand the solution. Airi told her student that if she had any questions she should bring them in next week and Airi will explain the correct solution.

Airi and her student then went over some school homework questions that her student was stuck on. They went through different ways to approach the question. They also went through some trigonometry word problems.

Overall, Airi did a great job helping her student. It was a great session and a pleasure to observe. Keep it up!
