Rosalie Peyton TS#2 Tania

I met with Tania Assoumou for our first tutoring session. She is from the Ivory Coast and arrived in Tallahassee a couple of weeks ago for class. Her first language is French. She has not had a lot of opportunities to practice her English before, so she wants to work on her communication skills. I had her answer a few grammar questions about present tense verbs and was/were usage. She did fairly well during these exercises. She only had a couple of questions about some tricky words. For example, she was confused as to how "water" could be both a verb and a noun. I then had her read some passages and answer comprehension questions about them. For the next session, I think that we will work in her writing skills.
