Adelyn TS #14

Date/Time: February 5th, 8 pm

Location: Zoom

Topic/Skill: During this session, Jeah and I started off with a recap of nouns (all the different types) and adjectives. She provided examples, when to use, and we worked on examples in sentences. Today's goal was learning, understanding, and using verbs. I started off with the definition and showed the three main types. We went over each type with examples, pictures, and sentences. Then we watched a few videos. We worked together to create example sentences and then we ended with a timer game. I set a timer for 3 minutes and she had to create a list of as many verbs as she could.


Feedback provided to tutee: I only had to correct a few spelling errors and help her with the past and present difference, but she understood verbs really well. I encouraged her to take the time to think instead of resorting back to me or the examples. I helped her by thinking through her own personal interests and hobbies and she was able to come up with a lot of verb sentences. 

 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: One thing I am still struggling with her is speaking. I think she still just needs to gain more confidence and she is a bit reserved, but she is very smart. One other thing that helped was me giving lots of word examples so that she can see the words not just sentences- almost like a vocab list. I also think it is a bit hard for her to be creative and come up with things, but I know she knows it. Next session we will be devoting time to learning how to write sentences and form them, then I will have her speak too for practice.

Date & Time: 3/21/24, 3:00-4:00pm Location: CIES  Topic/Skill: speaking, spring break trips Feedback provided to the tutee: Over spring break, Aras went to New York City for the first time, and said it reminded him of his hometown in Turkey, both with huge skyscrapers. 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...
