Topic/Skill: Listening and Speaking skills
Feedback provided to tutee: The tutee explained to me that the skill he wanted help on the most was his conversational english. To get an understanding of his skill level I asked him questions about his life and also told him about mine. I then checked his comprehension of what I had said. I then read several news story aloud and then asked him questions about what I had read to check his comprehension.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I had overestimated my tutees conversational skill level because of his english accuracy in his emails before meeting. Because of this, I had to quickly adjust my lesson plan. This taught me to remember that even if a student is strong in one area it does not mean that they are comfortable in others.
