I met with Boram outside of CIES for our last tutoring session. She had started the TA section of the 200 hour TEFL course and was telling me about the work involved in it. She was excited for the experience but also surprised at the amount of involvement she was doing in the classroom. She discussed being nervous about assisting the class and I suggested she pretend to know what she was doing and "fake it till you make it". I spoke with her about how her TOEFL studying was going and she updating me on what material she was reviewing and I gave her some suggestions for getting a better handle on it. She told me that her mother was visiting the US soon and I told her about some places to visit in Florida as I had just been in Tampa and Miami the days before our session. I also got some recommendation for Korean dramas to watch and she recommended 'She was a girl' and 'Iris'. I had previously recommended she listen to the podcast called 'Serial' to practice her listening skills and she told me she was hooked on it. We discussed what goes on in the podcast and I told her the ending was unsatisfying.
