Sample Answer

Last year I worked with a 9th grader who was failing algebra and on the verge of being pulled from their sports team. Grades were hovering around 52%, and everyone—parents, teacher, and the student—had different ideas about what was going wrong. I started by setting up a 30‑minute Zoom with the math teacher and parents to align on one goal: get the student to at least 75% by the end of the quarter. I asked the teacher for specific unit test data and upcoming deadlines, and I shared a simple weekly plan and progress tracker in Google Sheets that everyone could see. I then coordinated with another tutor for once‑a‑week homework support, while I focused on concept gaps and test prep. Every Sunday I sent a 5‑line update email with scores, focus areas, and next steps. Over eight weeks, quiz scores climbed from the low 50s to mid‑80s, and the student finished the quarter at 78% and stayed eligible for sports.
