Date/Time: April 9, 2018
3:00 P.M.- 4:00 P.M.
Location: CIES
Topic/Skill: IELTS sample
essay analysis
Feedback provided to
tutee: Analyzing good and bad sample essays helped Mao Mao understand what aspects
of his writing need to improve to pass the IELTS test with a good score. I drew
his attention to the organization of ideas in the high scored essays as
compared to that of the low scored essays. At times, Mao Mao struggles to
organize his ideas coherently in his essays. Analyzing the two different
samples together helped him to see more clearly how to successfully organize an
essay.
Lesson(s) about tutoring
and/or the tutee you learned: During this session, I learned more about using a
variety of tactics to help a student understand a concept. Mao Mao has had some
issues with organizing his ideas in compositions lately. Providing him with the
visual of two writing samples seemed to have more of an effect than other
methods I tried previously. It is important to revisit an issue with a
different strategy to better help a student.
