TS #7

This tutoring session with Ahmed was held at the Starbucks on Tennessee St. I had been having a hectic week and wanted to meet somewhere more exciting, but Starbucks was a 2 minute walk from my house. I had gone to meet with Ahmed in between writing a paper and studying for an exam. I explained my busy week to Ahmed, and he was sweet enough to buy me a Mocha Latte! We then got to going over more vocabulary that Ahmed has heard around and wanted to understand more. For this session, I tried something a little different. For each word, I would explain it as simply and clearly as I thought I could, then I would write out multiple example sentences using the words, and then I would use visuals to further explain them and which contexts they are used in. I'm a horrible drawer, but drawing images as well as going over contextual use and example sentences proved to be extremely effective! Ahmed definitely seemed to enjoy it, for it brought on some silly drawings and conversations.
