Ramirez TS 9: Je-Won

 02/09 on zoom; 8pm 

The topic of today's activity was "Common Classroom Phrases." I had planned to watch a clip from Stranger Things, however, the audio would not work on his end. I tried sending him the video in the chat and he said he still could not hear it. Unfortunately a lot of this lesson was based off this video. I showed some of the clip with no sound, and did my best to explain what happened in the video. He seemed to understand most of it.

The video was Eleven in Stranger Things giving a presentation in her classroom. We went over new vocabulary that was in the video, as well as phrases used by the students and teachers. I gave him another slide of examples classroom phrases that weren't in this video such as "I have a question" and "I do not understand." We went over those for a while and di not have time for a role play activity i had planned. 


This was the activity 

Write a dialogue between a teacher and a student. 

After, we will read your dialogue out loud as a role-playing activity. 

For example: 

Teacher: Good morning, everyone! Please open your books to page 10.

Student: Excuse me, teacher. I don’t understand.

Teacher: No problem! Look at the picture on page 10. What do you see?

Student: Umm… a boy and a dog?

Teacher: Yes! Very good. Now, listen and repeat: “The boy has a dog.”

Student: The boy has a dog.

Tony TS #21 - Extra session/recap with Dojun

Date/Time: Sunday 6/1 @ 10:00am Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Recap I finished my 20 tutoring hours, but Dojun and I had previously scheduled our final lesson. We recapped our sessions and I asked what he liked, what he wanted to know more of, etc. We also talked about ways to continue practicing English in the future. I introduced him to some American news networks and taught him the differences between more reliable, objective sources and more sensationalized, comedic sources. Dojun plans to use English more in his line of work by communicating with American business partners and clients in English when the opportunity presents itself. He has been busy with work, but hopes to one day return to the states for vacations and practice there as well.

Isabelle TS#18/19 with Livio

Date/Time: Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025, 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. (two sessions) Location: Online on Zoom Topic/Skill: Active and Passive Voice Feedback provided to the tutee: For this session, Livio and I worked on the differences between the active and passive voices. This topic came up during our last lesson when we were learning about writing emails in American English, since Livio did not fully understand the difference between these two tones. The activity we did was modeled after an activity we did for a different lesson that he really enjoyed, where we used his social media page as a vehicle for the activity. I asked him to write sentences about the image on his Instagram in both the active and passive voice so he could learn the difference between the two in practice. Lesson(s) about tutoring: I continue to be reminded that the extent to which your tutee or student enjoys the lesson plan has a direct impact on how much or how quickly they learn the material. I always try to find wa...

Max TS#20 - Karim

 4/29  In Tuesday's session, Karim and I continued working on some more advanced level reading comprehension and conversation. We have been reading lots of international affairs related news articles so Karim can prepare for his master's program with the International Affairs school. The past couple sessions have generally been conversation between Karim and I where I speak to him as I would my friends, so he is more exposed to more everyday speech. When we converse I jump in to correct him or give definitions to any unknown vocabulary.
