Time: 2 pm

Location: Starbucks

Topic/Skill: Simple past exercise

Student: Mohammed Alajmi

I developed some simple present sentences and he rewrote them to simple past. We did the same thing with simple present continuous and also briefly reviewed the 12 verb tenses. He told me of his plans to study engineering and how important learning English is for his future plans. He is a strong active reader; he demonstrated this by his fluency with grammar and vocabulary. He is an excellent student with a lot of potential.

Lessons Learned: I emphasized the importance of reading comprehension. Even though active reading has many benefits, he needs to work on guessing the meaning of words by reading and understanding the material thru context. His future goal of pursuing an engineering degree will benefit greatly by practicing these and other reading techniques.

For our next session we will focus on reading and comprehension.
