Sebastian- Tutoring - Week 5

Hello!

Yesterday I had a very interesting tutoring session with my student (my wife). I started out by reading a fable to her regarding two frogs that decided to move because the well where they lived dried up. I first read it once, and asked her questions about the story to see how much she comprehended. Once I explained the words that she did not understand, I read it again, this time asking her what she thought the moral of the story was. She learned new words like "marsh", and also the expression "by and by".

After reading the story, I pulled out a list of "hot topics" of conversation and asked her to rate from 1 to 10 the statements, 1 being "strongly agree" and 10 being "strongly disagree". After she rated them, she would give me a thorough explanation of why she chose one or the other.

Finally, I handed her a little quiz where she had to match the correct expression to the sentence. She also learned new things there, like the expression "Been there, Done that!".

During this session, I was able to help her with listening comprehension as well as writing. She told me that she had enjoyed it, something which I was really happy about.
