Bria TS #9

            During this session, I learned that my tutee wanted me to explain the errors on his test. He understood the sentences on the test. However, he has some problems with using the correct vocabulary. For example, there were a few fill in the blank questions about what a person does everyday, such as “She ______ at the school.” He wrote “goes” in the blank. I explained to him that because the person is already at the school, she cannot go to the school. I also explained that the sentence is talking about her location because of the preposition “at.” I continued to explain that the verb “go” uses the preposition “to.” If the sentence had said, “She _____ to the school,” then he could have written “goes.” He also had a few more mistakes like this. I explained to him why they were incorrect and what the correct answer would be. From this tutoring session, I learned that I should do some grammar exercises with my tutee. All in all, I plan to do this with him during the next session.
