Today I finally met my tutee, Renata. Firstly, I introduced myself and then I asked her few questions to start learning more about her present life, her background, her culture and her feelings towards living far from home. Then, I tried to explore her relationship with English, what she likes the most and what she dislikes. We discussed her desires and goals and we decided together how to achieve them. I was also able to assess her grammar, while she was talking to me, I asked her to read a little paragraph about Brazil that I found for her and then I asked her to talk about it to assess her speaking and reading comprehension and at the end I asked her to write few sentences about her hometown to assess her writing.
My attitude was pretty friendly and empathetic, I personally enjoy meeting people from different cultures and I love sharing ideas and support. I felt like, by the end of our meeting, Renata was pretty satisfied and relaxed at the same time, she is really motivated to learn English and I hope I will be able to help her as much as I can.
