Topic: adding ing to verbs

Thing about tutoring learned: Today both Meeshal and Maher came to the session. Since I have been meeting one on one with Meeshal, it was difficult to try to work with both of them at the same time because they are at very different levels, and Maher does not seem as eager as Meeshal. I know that I have to prepare something that will be beneficial to both of them.

  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.
