Location: CIES
Topic/Skill:Reading/writing
Feedback provided to tutee: After every exercise, the tutor provided feedback by commenting on what the tutee did well. On written assignments, she would compliment him, but also underline the things that were grammatically incorrect (verb choice, spelling error, etc.) and have him discover where the mistake was and how to fix it. At the end of the lesson, she asked him how he felt about the tutoring session, then told him that he had done really good work.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: The tutor did a wonderful job of keeping the tutee focused and on task. She also utilized Google image search to find pictures and help him conceptualize new words and terms. She also would have the tutee read the instructions for each exercise, then she would repeat the instructions to ensure he understood. When he came across a new word, she would ask him whether it was a person, place or thing in order to help him narrow down what the object might be based on his existing lexicon. Overall, it was a very good experience, one that will help me when I tutor a child in the future.
