TS #10 - Paige Dabney

Date/Time: 01/29/16, 12:30-1:30pm

Location: 
CIES

Topic/Skill:
 Pronunciation, Conversational Skills/Vocabulary on themed topics, Presentation

Feedback provided to tutee:

He has excellent pronunciation of most words and speaks very clearly. He just needs to review a few rules to improve his pronunciation. More importantly though, we worked on his speaking skills. He has many great ideas on themes I give him, as well as for his presentation. He is very excited to voice them to me but has trouble formulating the sentences. We are working on matching phrases better to what he wants to express and fixing word order when necessary.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
He is proud and loud when he speaks, but is not confident that he knows how to say his ideas. My tutee simply needs some encouragement. If I ask "what do you mean by that?" or "Tell me more", he easily elaborates. He does not realize until then that I do not understand everything in his head.
