Tutoring session – tutee: Hang-ah 8, Wednesday 9/30, 1630-1730hrs, Zoom.

Covered:  Wonder, last chat, staying in touch

 

            We took ten minutes and jumped right back into reading Wonder.  This is a good book.  It is also getting more difficult in terms of a read as it’s not only form one persons perspective, it seems to be from other characters’ points of view too.  Unfortunately, by the time we got to the end of the hour the book seemed to switch perspectives yet again.  We didn’t get far enough to learn whose perspective it was, a new person or back to the main.  We agreed not to spoil it by going ahead as we are both intent on finishing the book on our own.  I will stay in touch with her as long as she needs.  At this point I have about eighty vocab and concepts, expressions or slang from our readings that were new to her that I’ll summarize and send to her.  Interestingly, the book has many Star Wars references, and they take up about a dozen of the new vocab and concepts.

CP 10/9/20

Today I met with Marcia. She talked about how she is working on her applications for different graduate schools. She talked about how she applied to some schools in South Korea and other schools in Canada. She mentioned how it is exhausting to work on all these applications. I then started discussing with her how I always wanted to have a deep southern accent. She was shocked to hear this since she has always tried to overcome her accent in English. I talked to her about how it makes you sound different and adds diversity. After that, we ended up talking about the TEFL internship program and how she thinks Dr. Rios is a really good teacher. She thinks that his ability to understand where the students are coming from really makes him an effective teacher.
