Date/Time: February 7th, 8 pm

Location: Zoom

Topic/Skill: During this session, Jeah and I started off with a recap of everything we have learned (nouns, adjectives, and verbs). She provided examples, when to use, and we worked on examples in sentences. Today's goal was learning, understanding, and forming questions. I started off with the definitions and showed two different forms of questions: “wh” and “yes/no'' questions. We went over each type with the definitions, formulas, examples, pictures, and sentences. Then we watched a few videos to explain better and practice. We worked together to create example sentences and then we ended with pictures and forming questions based on what was displayed. 

Feedback provided to tutee: I designed this lesson for her to have her practice more speaking. I did not want her writing as much today but instead looking at and hearing examples to form her own questions. 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 pictures and she was able to come up with a lot of good questions. 

 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I think she still just needs to gain more confidence and she is a bit reserved, but she understands a lot and has a lot of knowledge. I think she has learned a lot, but it is difficult for her to acquire her knowledge. One other thing that helped was me giving lots of word examples before she speaks. I also think it still is a bit hard for her to be creative and come up with things, but I know she knows it.

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...
