TS # 15

This session was my last session with Ahmed! I've gotten very close to Ahmed over the past few months, for I met with him as both a tutor and as a conversation partner. I got to learn a lot about his life, family, goals, and of course about his English language skills. Ahmed really wants to learn English and is extremely intrinsically motivated. This has been obvious in all of our interactions with each other. During this session, Ahmed wanted to go over verb tenses and he brought in some worksheets and his journal from his class. We decided on one specific and simple sentence and then modified it for each different verb tense. I went over various examples for each verb tense, and made sure to ask him multiple times if he was grasping the differences between the verb tenses. I later asked him to create sentences, each of which using a different verb tense. We went over these together, and I answered any further questions he had. The rest of our session was just us chatting with each other. It was a very nice meeting and I was glad to have met him.
