Serena TS#5

Date/Time: September 12, 7:00-8:00am

Location: Skype

Topic/Skill: Listening & Speaking

Feedback provided to tutee: I checked with Dojun to ask him if he would like me to correct him on his grammar. He said that it would be fine but only on every other session. His response gave me the impression that he would prefer to just focus on speaking and listening. Throughout the session whenever there was a gap in his story I would help him fill in the proper vocabulary word such as the words “liability” and “faults.”


Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: This session with Dojun I felt that he was able to practice his speaking more than usual. Generally I am the one who carries most of the conversation but this time he spoke a lot more. At the beginning of the session he spent about 15-20 minutes telling me a story about frustration he had been experiencing recently at work. During the session there was shaking where Dojun was so we began to talk about earthquakes as well as geography. Overall I felt that Dojun has found the practice through our conversation to be beneficial for him.
