Date/Time: June 8th, Saturday, 4:00PM

Location: In Person

Topic/Skill: Speaking and listening

Feedback provided to the tutee: This was my fifth session with Miguel. After the graduation we had a session the following day where we discussed his time in Tallahassee and the cultural differences of being in America compared to his native country of Cuba. This session was more geared towards cultural understanding and was a very impromptu and casual lesson. Feedback was mostly just corrections of speech and pronunciation, as well as cultural corrections. 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: This session was extremely insightful in reaffirming the need for students learning English to have cultural understanding of the US and the cultures in it.
