I met with P.J on campus at CIES on June 29 from 12:00-12:50PM. The topics we covered were both vocabulary words and a reading about acids and bases in an eighth grade textbook. First, I gave him a test on the words that we covered so far. He had five minutes to complete an exercise matching terms he learned throughout the week. He got six wrong, so we covered those terms first. The first two terms he mixed up were gas and liquid. I explained again why each was different, and he let me know that he misread the choices. The next two he had problems with were Charles' law and Boyle's Law. This one he also had trouble with due to wording, and he remembered each of them incorrectly. The last one he got wrong was the difference between ionic and covalent compound. I had already planned on going over again in the next session, so I spent little time on this word. After the test, we went over the terms acid and base and talked about pH scale. This was mostly review, so he had little trouble with the terms we went over.

Date/Time: 07/17/19 Location: CIES Lounge Topic discussed: George Lopez and Other American Sitcoms Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: Andres and I decided to watch part of an episode of the George Lopez sitcom during our tutoring session, in which Andres was asked to pick up vocabulary or idioms he's never heard before, in which the list was extensive due to the fact that the show is in native English and uses everyday phrases heard in America. Andres also lacked some cultural knowledge on idioms and phrases that were explained to him, to which he enjoyed learning about. At the end of the session, he was given a list of vocabulary words and phrases to cover on his own.

Date/Time: 07/26/19 Location: CIES Lounge Topic discussed: Final Review Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: Seungjae and I met for our second and final tutoring session, in which I set up a review with example sentences and worksheets to allow him to practice grammar tenses he did not understand. This tutoring session took over an hour, as with many of the questions on the practice he had concerns, to which I helped him clarify with detailed explanations and reasons to grammar. He luckily showed much more understanding at the end of the tutoring session, to which I encouraged him to continue his studies and provided him additional information that would help explain these grammar tenses he struggled with.

Date/Time: 07/17/19 Location: CIES Lounge Topic discussed: Review Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: Marcia came in after I met with Andres and we hosted a review of all of the concerns she previously had during her first two tutoring sessions, both of which were answered and clarified. Marcia was able to successfully show understanding of the material during our review on present perfect and present perfect continuous tenses, as well as prepositions, all of which were her only real concerns. With this, Marcia and I concluded our third and final tutoring session, after which I provided her with additional links in the case she doesn't understand or remember grammar we covered in the future before wishing her the best of luck in her future English studies.
