Preston T5


TP 5
My first tutoring session with Mii.  We decided to meet off campus at a Starbucks nearer to where we live. This in hind sight was a mistake it was too hard to hear each other and the video I used that day. I had not spoken much to her as of yet so I was unsure of what her skill set was but I knew she was at the same level as my other tutoring partner so I planned at that level. Today I gave a listening lesson. I used the Ted talks site as my reference. The video was “Patrick Awauh on educating leaders” the topic seems boring but it was an exciting speech to hear. I changed my strategy a bit this time, instead of watching the entire video all the way I stopped it every few minutes to ask questions, ask for a summary, etc.  . This is when picking your location better comes into play. The coffee shop was far too loud to hear the video properly, so it was slow going. Eventually the website became unresponsive. Thankfully we had already gone for 50 minutes at that point. We wrapped up by scheduling our next meeting.
