Ansley TS #1

I met with my tutee at Starbucks from 7pm-8pm this Thursday.  I asked the tutee before the meeting if he had something specific he would like to cover.  He asked to work on his speaking ability.  We introduced ourselves and talked briefly so I could assess his ability.  He told me he had a presentation in his speaking class he would like to practice with me.  During the practice I noticed he was struggling with prepositions.  In order to correct his usage of prepositions we first reviewed the usage of "in" vs. "at" vs. "on" etc.  Next we wrote sentences from the presentation involving those prepositions.  I tried to emphasize how using a different preposition could make grammatical sense but it would change the meaning.  In the next session I would like to review prepositions and move forward to correct use of the simple present.  I also noticed during his presentation the present continuous and simple present were used inconsistently.
