TP – CIES group tutoring #2
I met with Byron and Isabella for my second CIES tutoring
session. I had met with Byron previously, but this was my first time meeting
Isabella. She forgot to bring any materials, but Byron brought like…every
English thing he has ever done, just like last week haha. I did not have a
chance to prepare any specific tutoring materials, and that made me nervous for
the session, but I think it actually went pretty well without it. It really opened
up this session to look through the things they have been working on at CIES
and address specific issues.
We talked a lot about the present perfect and how it is used
in English. We went though a lot of drills where asked If/where they have ever
done/been things and places. I invited them to ask me questions; it was pretty
helpful I think, even though I was being a little confusing at first because I
always wanted to say a past perfect first. That tense just sounds easier to my
ears, so I had to take a second and really think of sentences where only the
present perfect is appropriate and useful.
I told Isabella that next week we will work on some listening and speaking exercises. If anyone knows any great ones, I’d love to hear ideas J
