Maria

Tutoring Session

January 21, 2020

8-9pm

Maria and I worked together on a speaking exercise. I gave Maria short topics and had her speak for 2 minutes on the topic. The topics included: her family, her favorite movie, her favorite vacation, her favorite day of the week, her favorite place in the world. I enjoyed learning more about Maria as she practiced speaking and having clear, flow, organized ideas. After each topic, I talked about what she was doing well which was being organized in her story. We talked about some areas to work on which included verb tense and the use of prepositions and pronouns by asking questions and repeating the sentence to see if Maria could catch her own mistakes. Each short speech improved as Maria was more attentive to verb tense and prepositions. It did slow down the speech a little at first, but Maria improved consistently.
