Date/Time: 4 June / 5:00 - 6:00PM
Location: Starbucks
Topic/Skill: Listening comprehension
Feedback provided to tutee: I met with Nanami
for coffee and I brought my iPad so we could continue to listen to audio clips
from a TOEFL practice website. Afterwards, I had her answer multiple choice
questions that followed, as well as short answer questions to check her
comprehension. She did well on the first one, but we went over some slightly
more challenging samples where it became necessary that she be given another
chance to listen to it a second or third time so she could correct the mistakes
in her answers.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
She mentioned to me how it is much more difficult for her to focus when the
topic is unfamiliar to her and how she is primarily only used to academic
language and vocabulary. She told me that her focus is on what will be on the
TOEFL and that she is nervous since she's never taken it before.
