Location: CIES Building

Topic/skill: Word pronunciation

Feedback: I corrected the pronunciation for the words and gave some sentence examples.

Lesson Learned: I learned that it is important to always understand the level of speech that your tutee is at so that you aren't speaking above them and making it more confusing.

 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.

  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.
