Victoria Gilbertson TS #1

Date/Time: 10/22/2015

Location: Hect House

Topic/Skill: Spiders, Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension

Feedback provided to tutee: The tutor gave great feedback to P.J. such as pronunciation of the vocabulary words, lots of feedback. The tutor was also able to grasp P.J.’s attention after a fun video.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: 


I learned that it helps a lot to continually ask comprehension questions, generally of your own making, while tutoring. This is so that the tutee actually does comprehend what they are reading which makes for a more productive use of both parties time. The tutor was writing down comprehension questions while P.J. was reading while also helping him with the vocabulary words that he did not understand. P.J. is very smart and has the capability to understand long, scientific words. P.J. seemed to be more interested in the topic the longer the session went on. When topics of interest are discovered with the tutee, they should be utilized to make the sessions productive and interesting.
