Throughout all my sessions thus far, I have allowed my tutee
to choose the topic or skill we focus on each time. I find that by doing this, it keeps his
interest better and also helps to target the specific skills he feels he needs
to strengthen. Today my tutee asked that
we work on verb tenses. We went through
each of the tenses through a series of interview questions. I would not tell him what tense I was using
when I asked the question. He would have
to respond appropriately based on the tense he heard. I found that asking him questions for the present
tense was much more difficult than asking him questions that he would have to
respond in past tense and future tense.
We worked together on this the entire session. At first, his responses were very slow and thought
out. He was focusing intently on making
sure he understood what tense I was looking for him to respond in and choosing
words correctly. However, by the end of
the session my tutee was responding with more accuracy and fluency.
