Tutees: Matthew and David Hong
For Matthew, he had to write a rough draft for a school speech on a myth. He chose the city of Atlantis. We introduced the main features of Atlantis in the introduction paragraph. I made sure to ask him questions about his grammar when he made mistakes. A common mistake was capitalization of proper nouns, such as Atlantis and Atlantic Ocean. We did some research to learn more about he history for his body paragraphs. He learned about its origins and wrote about how long Greeks have been subject to this myth. He made a lot of progress on the rough draft of his paper, finishing it in our short time during our tutoring session.
For David, we focused mainly on grammar. He had trouble with the perfect tenses. He got them confused with the continuous and past tenses. This was easily adjusted when I showed him the formula for past, future, and present perfect tenses. He then was able to conjugate and create sentences with new words. After this, he read an academic article for his grade level on the atmosphere and its different layers. He learned a lot about the importance of the layers on our health and safety. His comprehension and ability to understand vocabulary words in context was excellent. He has really improved a lot since I started seeing him.
