Tatiana TS #4

I had the opportunity to tutor Kubra. She is a lawyer from Turkey and is in the United States with her fiancé. Her english knowledge is very good. She is able to hold moderate level conversations and I did not have to speak at a different level for her. The subject that she struggles the most is in grammar. Her main concern was about having to remember when to use the simple past tense verbs and the irregular past tense verbs. I tried explaining that for irregular past tense verbs its more of memorizing them. I said that she will not notice when it sounds weird when she uses them incorrectly, so most of the verbs are just memorized through practice. I helped her with past continuous tense, and she was able to grasp that concept very quickly. She is very happy to be here, and was appreciative that I spent an hour with her.
