 Date/Time: Friday 01/22/21 from 1:00pm to 2:00pm

Mariama Mayoshiko

Location: Zoom Call

Topic/Skill: Ice breaker + written/oral activity to practice verb tenses

Feedback Provided: Challenges with plural/singular nouns. Tense usage, spelling, and gerunds.  

Lessons learned: I learned how to be patient, and actively listen to my tutee. I learned that my tutee is studying nursing at FSU, and that she is a better speaker than a writer. I learned that she has challenges with timed oral/writing activities so we will try to alleviate that stress by doing fun oral/writing activities.

 Date/Time: Tuesday 11/26 12-1 Location: Starbucks  Topic/skill: Sentence structure and correct verb forms Lesson about tutoring/tutee learned: I am tutoring Maher, but his friend Meshaal also came, and they are at a very different level. So I learned to go back and forth between teaching them different things. This was difficult, but also helpful in that Maher, who is at a higher level, was able to explain things to Meeshal, since both of them speak Arabic.

  Date/Time: Monday 1/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Reading & Poetry part II Feedback provided to tutee: Pronunciation corrections, new vocabulary, and explanations for poems when misunderstood Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:  Some of the poems I picked ended up being inappropriate because they used Old English or were at a lower reading level than my tutee's so I am learning more about finding level-appropriate materials. It seems EFL/ESL students tend to be very good at listening and reading but struggle with writing and speaking so I will try to find more activities that focus on developing those skills.
