I met with Samuel via Zoom at 3 pm on August 4. 

Topic/Skill: Possessive pronouns 

Feedback provided to tutee: Samuel and I talked about how, in English, the possessive pronoun only refers to the person that is possessing. I presented a slideshow about Possessive Pronouns and Possessive adjectives, including their placement and number. In Spanish, you make the possessive pronoun plural if the object of possession is plural, and so this concept is confusing for English learners whose native language is Spanish. Samuel practiced filling in the correct possessive pronoun and possessive adjective using a worksheet that asked for both. 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned that it was helpful for Samuel to have a visual powerpoint to take notes about the topic before completing the worksheet. Samuel really enjoyed taking notes and referring back to them.
