Topic/Skill: Voiced/Voiceless pronunciation
Feedback provided to tutee: My tutee was eager to practice pronunciation with me because I am a native speaker. She got frustrated a few times with pronouncing challenging words but quickly reminded herself that these skills come with practice and time. I admire her positivity and determination. My tutee quickly improved after practicing minimal pairs.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: With some research, I learned that voiceless pronunciation is hard for native-French speakers, and I saw the benefit of using minimal pairs to practice. I taught my tutee the trick we learned in TEFL, where the speaker puts their hand against their vocal chords to tell if the letter is voiced or not. It was extremely helpful when practicing and entertaining!
