Mary Phillips TS #15

Date/time: Wednesday, December 16, 2015, 1:30-2:30
Location: Public library
Topic/skill: Speaking, grammar (idioms, adverbs)

Feedback provided to tutee: I introduced a few words that were new to my tutee so I usually explained the definition and gave a few sentences.  I introduced some terms that I think were a little too "low-frequency" but I was able to explain them well enough.

 Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Once again I owe a lot to the internet.  The ability to search images and provide visual examples to unknown vocabulary immediately really enhances the tutoring.  However, when I search for pre-made questions for speaking activities, I find that many of them are not very good.  They're very awkwardly worded or repetitive.  I usually end up using the pre-made activities as a guideline more than an exact lesson plan to follow.
