Francisco TP-6

Areum and I met today at the Strozier Library at 4:30pm. I had just finished my video lesson and I text Areum to see if she could still meet for a tutoring session. Aruem is aware of my tight schedule and she has been extremely flexible with me. I have truly come to appreciate her kindness and flexibility with me. We met at the main level of Stozier and I asked Areum if there is anything she needs help with. She gave a slight laugh and said "not really." I laughed to and understood since we had met two days ago and she seemed to be on top of everything. I pulled out an extra handout of the worksheet I gave to my earlier students during my video lesson. The handout contained a list of a variety of transitional words and phrases. I asked Aruem if she is familiar with these phrases and she said that she is. We then went over the list to see if there were any words that Aruem did not understand. She immediatly took note of "Simultaneously," a word that I had to explain to my class during the video lesson. I told her that it means something done at the same time. I gave her an example then asked Areum if she can use this word in a sentence. She wrote down the sentence " I simultaneously like to eat and read." I explained to her that the word fits better if she were to put it in the end of the sentence, such as " I like to eat and read simultaneously." She understood and we moved on the the next words "Nevertheless" and Nonetheless." It took me a while to figure out how to explain the word to Areum and we both looked at its definition so that I could maybe explain it to her better. The definition we looked up said "in spite of/however." I told Aruem that it is basically another word for saying "however." Aruem and I both became content with this explanation. For the rest of the session, Aruem and I went over a couple of more the transitional words that she understood vaguely but needed a little clarification.
