ARZU TS#3



ARZU TS#3

Date/Time: 11/2/2015   3.00-4.00 pm (with Alhanouf)
Location: Starbucks, Tennessee
Topic/Skill: Modal verbs, Simple past tense
She had a quiz on that day and her quiz score could be improved. We have gone through all quiz questions by explaining the rules of modal verb sentences and simple past tense.
Feedback provided to tutee: When I checked her quiz paper, I found out that she had various mistakes like grammar, wrong spelling and incorrect word order. I asked   her to find her own mistakes and try to correct them by herself. (I helped when needed).  I noticed that some of the mistakes were coming from not reading the directions of the question carefully. So, I mention to her how important to understand the instructions first.
After we finish to check the quiz paper, I arranged some more exercises about modal verbs and simple past tense to make sure that she understood these structures. We worked on positive, negative and question form of the sentences. I advised her to go through these exercises at home.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: At the end of the session, I thought that getting a low score from a quiz can be quite discouraging. So, I tried to be supportive and I hoped that these tutoring sessions would be very helpful for her.
