Nickie - TP12

Chae Hyeong Park is my final tutor session for our blog. We are working on editing his paper still. Last session we worked on the 1st half of his paper, and this session we worked on the second half. He is very concerned with conversation still, so we will continue our sessions via Skype until he feels comfortable, or is unable to meet anymore.
I used the same techniques as last session. First letting him point out issues or questions, then I show general areas and let him discover his mistakes, and finally I point them out if he's unable to self correct. He's a very high level student, so mistakes are few and far between. A lot of discussion is regarding rephrasing for flow, and why. It's difficult to explain why something is correct, but sounds better rephrased. He's much better on paper than in conversation. So, I look forward to continued work together. :)
