Topic/Skill: English Expressions
Feedback provided to tutee: Because my tutee was exhausted from studying so much, we took time to chat casually. We watched an episode of Friends and talked about odd English expressions, phrases, and idioms. It was really enjoyable!
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: My tutee is able to guess the meaning of odd English expressions very quickly because she knows how to use context clues. She told me that watching movies in English helps her practice this ability to guess meaning from the context. She also said that she listens very closely in every English interaction and sees every interaction as a learning opportunity. We also talked about recognizing clues in facial expressions, body language, and French-English cognates.
