Time: 11-12 am

Location: French bakery

Topic/Skill: Speaking and grammar

Feedback provided to tutee:

My tutee mentioned she had not been to a bakery in the US yet, so for our final lessons, we picked up some pastries from a French bakery. We spoke about a variety of subjects, and I corrected her grammar and word usage along the way. 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: 

I have noticed that my tutee knows a lot of English vocabulary, but doesn't always quite understand the definition of a word or which synonym is best to use in a situation. That is something I have worked on with her in both the areas of writing and speaking. This seems like a common situation with students (I had the same experience during the class I taught).

Her biggest issue is speaking and having conversations, so today was all conversations and reading. Jeah read a couple short stories and we just had a conversation about them.
