My very first tutoring session with
Mario. The past few times we have met with each other they have all been fun and
games. This time we went to Starbucks and sat down and did a little fun
activity. This activity was for me to get to know him better and see where he
was in his English and try to see where I need to help him the most. What I did
was I asked Mario a question and he had to answer it to his best ability if he
made any mistakes I would correct him verbally and also write it down for him.
Mario found this technique very useful because he was able to bring the paper
home and keep it for further reference. Once I asked Mario a few questions I
gave him the opportunity to ask me a question that he didn’t know about me. The
next time we meet we planned out to have another game but more writing instead
of speaking. I found out from Mario that his biggest struggle in the English
language is writing and grammar. Although Mario is my roommate this was the
first time we really went have ever talked in English together.
