Sophie TS #2- Fahad

My second tutoring session was with my adult tutee, a college student from Kuwait named Fahad Alajmi. We met up in Strozier, where he was working on a project for one of his classes with CIES. Again, like my first session with Eliya, this was more of an introduction and needs assessment than an actual lesson. With Fahad I'd like to work on pronunciation and some more advanced grammar topics. He seems to understand everything I say with no trouble, but could definitely improve his speaking skills. When I first arrived he asked me a question about gerunds and participles, and how to tell them apart in sentences, which I could not give a clear answer for. But I've since found an answer, so that's definitely something I'll cover with him next time we meet. Because it was more of an introduction, we got to know each other a little bit too. The topics of our conversation were very similar to my meeting with Rayan- favorite places in Tallahassee, pets, and our experiences learning a second language. Fahad is currently studying to take either the TOEFL or the IELTS exam so that he can take university classes, so I'm looking forward to helping him practice for those!
