Date/Time: 11/4/2015   3.00-4.00 pm (with Alhanouf)

Location: Starbucks, Tennessee

Topic/Skill: Modal verbs (can, should, must, have to)

After our previous session, I thought it would be helpful to do more exercises for modal verbs. That’s why I brought some grammar worksheets for Alhanouf during this session. At the beginning of each subject, I asked her first the rules of the structure and then to complete one page exercises. After each page, I checked the answers and discussed incorrect ones. Additionally, I asked her to make negative and question sentences in each structure.

Feedback provided to tutee: I gave her positive feedback continuously since she did a good job on the exercises. I reminded her how important to read the directions of the question first.

I explained the meaning of the new words and wanted her to repeat the word loudly for correct pronunciation. I also recommended her how to work on a new vocabulary by writing and using it in sentence.

 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: It was a great feeling when your tutee shows good understanding and does well on the exercises. I decided to keep working on grammar by covering the chapters she already learned. I will try to use different kind of exercises on speaking and writing which would help to strengthen her language skills.
