Daniel Bell - TS#7


Date/Time: February 6th, 6PM

Location: Sultan’s Apartment (North X Northwest)

Topic/Skill: Vocabulary & Homework Assistance

Feedback provided to tutee: Since Sultan has a test coming up for Ms. Leslie’s class, we reviewed the subjects in his CIES visual dictionary that they will be going over on the exam. These subjects were: parts of the home, different rooms, as well as colors. We reviewed them together and I tested Sultan’s knowledge of them.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: As we worked, one of Sultan’s Kuwaiti friends – Ahmed (also a CIES student) – was in the room as well. He is at a much higher level than Sultan, and would help me explain abstract concepts to Sultan when needed. I was moved by his compassion and concern for his friend, and it reminded me of the importance of strong community to the language learning process.
