Topic/skill: Conditional tense
Feedback provided to tutee: Because we were focusing almost exclusively on the conditional tense, I made sure to correct all conditional tense errors. Also, my tutee was often unsure of how to pronounce certain words so I made sure to repeat any new words several times until she got them.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: The conditional tense was interesting because I had to do a lot of research beforehand to make sure I could explain all the different types of conditional sentences. And even after my research, I still didn't really understand what purpose mixed conditional sentences served. It would have been better if I had found a better explanation from a different website. I think it would have been helpful if I had prepared more example sentences beforehand. It was surprisingly difficult to just create a random conditional sentence. I looked at a lot of fill-in-the-blank worksheets to find example sentences. I also found it very useful, when correcting sentences, to write them down so I could better explain what grammatical rules applied.
