Chason TS #3

Date/Time: January 24th, 12:00pm

Location: CIES building

Topic/Skill: Reading Comprehension

Feedback provided to tutee: I congratulated Sultan on his successful presentation that I assisted him in developing for Dr. Rios' class. I then presented him with an academic text on the Arab water crisis, to get an idea of the upper level of his comprehension, since he plans to get a degree while at FSU. He continued to impress, and I made small corrections in word choice as needed during discussion (such as "interact" instead of "interfere"). 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: It is better to have too much material and too many ideas than too few for a tutoring session! I expected the analysis of the book to take longer but I'm not sure Sultan was as interested as I might have guessed. We ended up talking more generally and about his life back home, and after some reiterative comments about what he struggles with most, I have a better idea of how to prepare for our next session.

He told me about his visit to the Museum of Natural History, the Empire State Building, and Central Park. His hometown is known for its chaotic traffic, and New York’s heavy traffic also reminded him of home. When he told me he had taken the subway rather than a car to commute during his stay, I mentioned how cool that seems as I have never been on a subway. He was shocked! I explained that there were no subway systems in Florida because of Limestone, aquifers, and high water tables; therefore, Florida basements are rare but Florida natural springs are by the dozen! Lessons Learned: I’ve never experienced a very strong feeling of homesickness while being in a city that looks like where I am from, but I can rat...
