ARZU TS#7



ARZU TS#7

Date/Time: 11/9/2015   3.00-4.00 pm (with Alhanouf)

Location: Pitaria

Topic/Skill: Speaking & Simple Past Tense
Since Alhanouf was out of the city for the last weekend, I thought we can talk about her Charlotte trip. While she was talking, I took some notes of her mistakes and shared with her later. Unfortunately, she is having difficulty to pronouncing some basic words. I offered “repeat after me” exercise to improve her pronunciation for these vocabulary. As an example, some of these words start with letter “p” letter where she read it as “b” sound.
Alhanouf also asked me to help her for the grammar homework. There was one paragraph and she was asked to find the verbs in simple past tense. We gone through the text and mostly she was good about finding the verbs.  But when I ask the simple form of those verbs, she sometimes couldn’t answer the ones which were irregular verbs. We checked these verbs from the list I gave her and she found the simple form of those verbs.

Feedback provided to tutee: I recommended her to study and remember the simple past& past participle form of the each verb she learns. 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned the importance of the pronunciation once again. You can know one word, how to write it but If you can’t read or say it with correct pronunciation, it doesn’t help your communication.
