Tomas Cordero TS16 PJ

Today was my last tutoring session with PJ :( Since I am back home for the summer, we tutored through Skype. He sent me a picture of his homework for last session, and I corrected it. He demonstrated a clear understanding of the new words, and had good sentence structure. Much better than when we began. After that we went over 15 new words, and I made him write sentences with each of them for about 10 minutes. Overall, PJ improved a lot in his width and breadth of vocabulary.

Today I went over PJ's house, and tutored him. I proofread his narrative he was assigned and then showed him where his mistakes were, and how to correct them. Once he finished with that, I had him write another short essay for about 20 minutes. I told him I was focusing on length of the paper. When he was finished, we went over and picked out some word he can change for more complex ones. For homework I assigned another short prompt and made him use the new vocabulary we have learned.

Today I tutored Dojun once again. We went over his assigned homework, and then began a quiz with the words he learned. He really good at understanding new vocabulary, and was able to grasp the words with ease. I then taught him a few slang phrases and continued working on expanding his productive vocabulary through casual conversation about his week.

Today I met once again with Dojun to continue our learning. We went over the words by completing a fill in the blank worksheet I found online. After, we continued looking at new idioms and more vocabulary. For homework I assigned him another fill in the blank worksheet that we will correct next time we meet.

Today I met up with Dojun for our second session over Skype. We began diving into the complex world of English idioms. I found a list online and began to go through them with him. He was most curious on improving his everyday casual conversation, so I began teaching him some useful phrases and words I frequently used. For homework I assigned a list of words to know for next session.

Today I logged on to Skype to begin my sessions with Dojun. He was happy to see me, and we began to get to know each other. He told me he works at an airline company and enjoys playing billiards. He also goes to the movies with his friends often. We then discussed his English language learning goals for our upcoming sessions.

Today I met up with PJ to continue our tutoring sessions. We began by going over a new set of words and trying them in context. For this exercise I made a quick fill in the blank worksheet and had him complete it. After, I gave him a short narrative prompt, making him use the words he just learned. He has been slowly improving, and his vocabulary usage is expanding with every session.
