tutor 15

On Sunday May 15th 2016, I met my second tutee Ahmad at Starbucks on Tennessee Street for what I thought was a conversation session. After making small talk for five minutes, Ahmad mentioned that I was supposed to be his tutor and not his conversation partner. I was shocked but said that I would be glad to tutor him to the best of my abilities without any preparation. So when I asked Ahmad what he would like to go over, he mentioned that he was having a hard time understanding the differences between clauses. I had no idea what he meant by clauses when he first mentioned it but after five minutes on my iPhone, I was able to explain to Ahmad the differences between types of clauses and when to use a certain clause over another. After this explanation, Ahmad and I looked over some practice sentences and figured out which clause to use for that sentence. Ahmad said that he liked my explanation and that he wanted to work again in the future.
