Christopher TS #1

I had my first tutoring session with Do Jun on Monday,January 13th, from 8am-9am. Since he lives in Seoul, we were to have our sessions over Skype. When I first answered the call I got excited because I was thinking to myself: Yes! He's my age! We'll be able to relate so easily! When I asked him how old he was, he did not tell me that he was a twenty something like I expected. No, Do Jun is forty two years old (and he does not look a day over 23). That was not much of an obstacle however, he is very easy to talk to and his English is great. We talked about his job and his personal life and joked around for a bit. Towards the end of the session I asked Do Jun what he wanted to get out of his tutoring, I was especially interested because his English is so good. He told be that he has to use English a lot for his work and that he wants to become more fluent. We strategized on the best way to approach it and settled on a plan that involves me having vocabulary words for him to learn and use throughout the session as well as a discussion at the end of our conversation to look through the mistakes he committed while speaking. I am excited to see what's next!
