Lori TP-1

I met my tutoring partner for the first time last week! Her name is Somina and she's from Seoul, South Korea. I was a little nervous about meeting her so quickly without having much preparation time, but I realized once I arrived at CIES that for the first day all we would be doing for the most part would be getting to know each other. We set a time schedule of when we would be free to meet, and what she would like or need help with the most. She seemed really happy to have someone to help her with questions, and I am always excited to help others, so it seems like this will be a great opportunity to learn from each other. Hopefully I will be able to apply, and more fully understand, some of the teaching techniques we've been learning over the past few weeks while helping her achieve her academic goals.
