Today I met Renata, my tutee, for our session. When she joined the meeting I noticed she was inside her car. First, I made sure she wasn't driving, and then I told her that we could have moved the session to a different time. She told me that she was driving with her fiancé back to Tallahassee from Miami, and that having the tutoring session in that moment was fine to her.
It was a rough meeting, she was not focused 100%, and I was distracted by the presence of her fiancé in the car. I thought about ending the session earlier, because I was not enjoying the atmosphere, but Renata tried her best, so I decided not to give up even if the conditions were not the best. We practised the use of the infinitives and gerunds using a speaking activity. I think I will propose her the same activity on out next tutoring session because I am not satisfied with today's experience.
