Feedback provided to
tutee: As a conclusion to our tutoring sessions I reassured Dojun that I
noticed great progress in his fluency in speaking and listening abilities. He
asked if I would be available if he had any questions in the future regarding
English. I told him to feel free to message/e-mail me if he does or let me know
if he wants to ever Skype in the future for more English practice.
Lesson(s) about tutoring
and/or the tutee you learned: I told Dojun the story of my weekend at my
boyfriend’s ranch in Mexico. I taught him new vocabulary as always like ranch
and rattlesnake then transitioned into discussing topics such as white
supremacy and xenophobia. Overall I learned that just being relaxed and using
natural conversation as a means to teach new words and ideas was simple yet
effective. Especially for someone like Dojun who is probably only used to very
academic or textbook teaching, it was fun to expose him to natural yet
realistic conversations with a native speaker.
