Today i had my first tutoring session with Michael. As he is going to have a test tomorrow, I focused on preparing him for the test. Using his textbook, i tested him on translation skills (as in I said something in English, and he had to write that in Mandarin). After the test, we looked at the mistakes he had made, and as we went through them, i taught him more efficient ways on memorising how to write certain chinese characters. Then i gave him a few minutes to look over his mistakes again, before i gave him a re-test. He didnt make any mistakes in the re-test, which made me really happy, as i felt like i had made an achievement.
This activity gave me the opportunity to TEACH seriously, and it not only raised my awareness of my ability to teach and my level in chinese, but it also increased the respect i have for teachers (because teaching can be a really tiring job...).
Overall, i thought this session went pretty well, but for the next tutoring session, i hope to be even better prepared for the lesson.
