Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
Today, I tutored a Chinese student, Yan Zhao. As a new international student, she had some learning issues as I did. Speaking was challenging for her at first, and it took her some time to overcome the fear. This time, I basically did a diagnosis with her so that we can focus on more detailed tasks next time. She wanted to improve his writing specifically. She also wanted to prepare for her TOFEL. Hence, there are lots of things to cover next time. From her story, I realized the significance of affective filter again because it really affects if a student can be motivated or brave enough to overcome obstacles while learning a new language.
