Catherine Tutoring Lesson 2

So this weeks tutoring session went really well. I had printed out some worksheets for Jane to take home and keep with her. The worksheets contained business dialogue that she could look over since getting a job is most important to her. I had her read over some tongue twisters and then she read aloud the instruction on another worksheet. I, honestly, do not think she needs a tutor for her English pronunciation or grammar like she initially stated. I think that she is just unsure in her abilities and when I told her how good her English was and how I could understand everything she was saying she got really excited.
After that we talked and I figured out the path our next few sessions would follow. We are going to focus on getting Jane a bank account, finding her a job and helping her figure out blackboard since she goes to FAMU.

  1. I agree. Using areas that she needs help with can serve as great material for class. This should be for her to prepare herself and gain the confidence needed in order to carry out the task. If she "fails"or makes mistakes, GREAT!
