Samuel and I met in a room at CIES from 4-4:55 today for our latest tutoring session. We started the session by reviewing a homework assignment he has to do for his composition class. The students must debate the question 'Should boys and girls have classes together or separately?' I listened to Samuel's suggestions and offered counterpoints to his arguments to help him think of additional ideas for his homework assignment.
Samuel informed me he needed help with the simple past verb tense, past continuous verb tense, and asking questions in past and present forms. We spent the rest of our tutoring session coming up with examples of regular and irregular verbs in the present, past, and past continuous forms. Then we turned those statements into sentences. He was having trouble at the beginning of our session, but by the end he was doing them well without my assistance. It's good to know I'm helping someone learn English and to see the progress right in front of my eyes!
