Tutoring Session #3
Abbas Alnakhli
January 22, 2020 at 11:30AM
I met with Abbas for our first tutoring session this past Tuesday at 11:30AM. We began our initial discussion with a verbal needs evaluation; fortunately, he was extremely candid about the areas in which he needed the most assistance. Abbas explained that he felt his biggest struggle was listening and that often people spoke too quickly or used vocabulary words he did not understand. He said this made note taking and transcribing especially challenging, since he often found himself focusing on one portion of the lecture and missing critical information in the process. He also emphasized writing as an area of improvement as he wishes to craft longer sentences in his composition in an effort to more fully elaborate on his thoughts. Abbas is an extremely motivated student and wanted to get to work right away, so we brainstormed a list of connecting words he can use to write more complex sentences. We also briefly touched on the concept of adverbs, but given my lack of knowledge on that grammar topic I tried to keep the discussion brief so as not to confuse him further. However, given his interest I am hoping to craft that into a lesson plan for the future. Overall, our first session was extremely productive and I am excited to work with him again in the upcoming weeks.
