Tutee: Boram Kang
Date/Time: Thursday, 29 October 2:00 - 3:00 PM
Location: CIES computer room tables
Topic/Skill: Writing
Feedback provided to tutee: Boram Kang has a great knowledge of English. She speaks very well, only making a few mistakes. She told me that she does not like to read in English very much, but she is going to apply to the masters program for English Learning at FSU so she needs to read more and be able to write essays in English. After her short paper on why she was applying to FSU English Learning masters program, I helped her with some grammar points. Such as, she did not "account" for years as being an accountable noun, and so she wrote: "During high school years/ during college years".
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned how to actually grade papers better. After Boram wrote for 13 minutes, I reviewed her work by having her read it out loud, and we would go over each sentence. She made her own marks on her paper which made me realize that everyone has a different way of looking at things so it would be best not to completely mark up a paper in how I see it. I also really liked the writing assignment because she included some thoughts about her schooling in Korea (mentioning how much they focus on grammar !!) I really enjoyed learning about these cultural aspects.
