Lauren TS#9



I met for the first time with my adult tutee today.  This session, we focused on getting to know one another.  My tutee shared with me that he was from Libya and moved here a few years ago with his wife and three children.  They since have sent their children back to Libya because the kids were beginning to forget how to speak Arabic.  In my opinion, that takes a lot of courage.  His entire situation is one that requires a lot of bravery.  Moving to a country you know very little about including the language spoken is not something everyone can do. However, my tutee had a great attitude about his situation.  He mentioned how he wanted to focus on his speaking skills as well as his grammar and vocabulary because he would be taking the GRE soon and after looking at the vocabulary studying material, he was very unsure he would score well.
