Location: Starbucks location on Tennessee Street
Topic/Skill: Vocabulary and reading comprehension
Feedback provided to tutee: The tutee had a list of vocabulary words she wanted help on so we went through each one and she provided the definition and a sentence using the word. If she did not know or understand the meaning, I would provide her with sentences using the word until she understood. We then read through one long news article and we stopped after every paragraph so she could explain the meaning.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned that it is better to help the tutee figure out the answer to a question through hints but not by you directly providing the answer. She learned the vocabulary words better when I provided context clues for the word instead of telling her the exact definition.
