Topic/Skill: Past Tense Irregular Verbs
Feedback provided to tutee: This was Diana and I’s first
session together. Beforehand I had spoken with one of her professors, Mr.
Wilson, and he told me Diana needed help with past tense irregular verbs as
well as differentiating between do/did/does. I prepared a few worksheets before
I went into the lesson, but Diana wanted to work on irregular past verbs the
whole time. So we looked at the list from her book and began by going down the list
of verbs. Diana took each word, and created a sentence with it out loud, and
then she wrote it down. Because she is a foundations level student, I corrected
her with errors such as missing articles, preposition errors, etc. She asked
for me to fix any spelling mistakes she had when she wrote them down as well.
We covered various vocabulary words ranging from irregular past verbs she did
not know such as “hunt, “bled,” “hung,” to words such as “nail,” and “hammer.”
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you
learned: Diana is going to give me excellent practice in
choosing my words more carefully. I feel as though I am able to speak at the
proper pace when I need to, but I often forget about choosing level appropriate
words. Diana is a foundations level student, and she is a perfectionist, so any
word I say that she does not know, she makes me stop and thoroughly explain it
to her. She has difficultly figuring out words on her own based on the context
of the words around it because she wants to make sure she has a perfect
understanding of everything she hears.
