Date/Time: June 11th Tuesday

Location: Zoom

Topic/Skill: Listening comprehension

Feedback provided to the tutee: Faisal and I went over more A1 listening comprehension videos that I found on YouTube. There were question-and-answer segments as well so he really had to test his basic listening skills.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I think it is important to provide the beginner tutee with confidence-building material. As beginner material is inherently more boring than advanced ones, I feel that keeping the beginner student motivated is a major part of being an English teacher. Beginners can learn far more quickly than the advanced student so as long as their motivation to learn is kept high they can reach that intermediate level relatively quickly. I learned this from really sitting down and thinking about the differences between teaching Dojun and Faisal, how they react to different teaching methods, and for Dojun specifically how he reacts to different articles I have him read.
