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.

Tony TS #19 & #20 - Wei Wang

Date/Time: Friday 5/23 @ 5:00-7:00pm (2 hours) Location: FSU College of Medicine Topic/Skill: Listening/speaking & Questions Dojun and I have had scheduling difficulties for our final two sessions, so I asked Wei Wang if she'd like to meet once more to help me meet my tutoring hours requirements- she said yes. After our previous lessons, she has been challenging herself to watch the news without using subtitles- only using them if she could not grasp the main ideas of what she was watching. For this lesson, we did a longer video listening and speaking activity focused on current events. I had some difficult vocab prepared in advance, plus some other words that I wanted to quiz her on after watching the video- their meanings could be determined using context clues. I also had some questions prepared about main ideas as well as some more specific, critical-thinking related topics.

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.
