Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
This time, I did my second tutoring session with Dojun who is from South Korea. In the beginning, we went through the difference between idioms and phrases again because I thought my answer last was not 100 percent correct. Before the session, I did some research and showed him what it says online. Just like what I learned from the TEFL class, an English teacher needs to be accountable so the teacher needs to do research if he or she isn't sure about how to answer students' questions. Actually, it was a learning experience for me as well so that I can surely tell the difference between idioms and phrases now. Then, we discussed some idioms I found, such as "get the hang of it" " hit me up" " before you know it" "here and there" etc.. These idioms were what I am familiar with because I didn't want to confuse both of us with some idioms I don't know. Dojun was taking notes, and hopefully he learned something from my tutoring. At the end, we exchanged our observations about the current economic situation of Korea and the US. It was fun overall. I am looking forward to the next session with him next week,
