On Monday, February 2nd, I had my first Tutoring session with an Advanced foundations student, Saaja. We met at Strozier library, and she was very pleasant. I had been previously informed by her teacher that she had been through foundations three times already, so I was very curious about her level of English.
Like I had expected, Saaja spoke very little English. It was hard for me to communicate with her, and this was a new challenge that I had experienced. During our tutoring session, we reviewed her homework and a quiz that she had taken that day. She had done poorly on the quiz, but it was surprising to me that she seemed to grasp the concept when we were reviewing it. We concluded our tutoring sessions by going over a worksheet that she had gotten in class.
Though they are in the same class, Saaja was more difficult to tutor than Angelica because she spoke less English. I am going to contact her teachers to see if they can give me any material for her further tutoring sessions.
