"We first played "five chess" to warm up; the student's so good at it that she beat me once today! I helped her to study her new vocab of the week, we did flashcards and I asked to write down not only Pinyin, but also to create a sentence with each new vocab so that way she'll remember them better, we also analyzed each word's structure and different ways of expression. After that, we reviewed her work from the previous week, we practiced listening and Q & A, and I made up a bunch of questions to test her listening. Then she had to chose answers according to what she heard. At the end, we concluded with two things she'll do in the future that'll help her to improve fast: 1. always make up a sentence along with new vocab, and write it down, and 2. record the materials of the week and keep listening so she'll improve her listening skills. I will also pre-record some of the text for the following week so she can get ahead of the game. "

"The student has a test tomorrow, so we mostly used his study guide to guide our lesson today. We went over all the grammar points (I think there were about 10) and he showed that he knew the constructions and how they fit together. I think he will do great on the English to Chinese translation section, he just needs to remember to go slow, think about what he's writing, and really commit the characters to memory; we talked about this. After practicing grammar and translation, we listened to various conversations that could appear on the test. This is where he struggled a bit. He can get the main idea of every dialogue, which is great, but when I asked him more detailed questions we had to go back and listen to the audio clips. I think he will do better tomorrow though because his teacher is going to use the same clips that we practiced with tomorrow. I suggested that he listen to them again and really focus on the details. I think he will do great, best of luck! "

"The student finished most of his homework and we spent 10 mins reviewing his homework. Then we learned the new vocabulary, and he tried to memorize their meanings for 30 minutes. We watched the video clip from YouTube about the 12 Zodiac signs, which was related to his last tutoring session."

"We reviewed last week's lesson on asking/answering where you are from, your nationality, name, and age. The student has excellent pronunciation in Chinese, and he remembered the Chinese phrases really well. He was able to identify the meanings of the phrases by listening and answered my questions in Chinese. He has also reviewed the pronouns (I/me, he/him, she/her, they/them, you, we/us) for homework, and he has an excellent grasp on them. Today, we learned how to write his name in Chinese. Next, we learned the pronunciations and writings of family vocabulary in Chinese, including mom, dad, grandpa (paternal and maternal), grandma (paternal and maternal), home, and family member. We also covered Chinese culture, including the history of pictographs, traditional, and simplified Chinese writing. Lastly, we began learning how to tell dates in Chinese, and we learned the words for year, month, and day. The student always has a positive attitude and is great to work with."

"We went over the pronunciation of all the vocabulary we covered during our initial session. I had her repeat all the phrases to me and adjusted her tones accordingly. She requested that we work on dining-related phrases for our session so we worked on more vocabulary and pronunciation for key phrases that I thought would be useful in daily conversation. She is very comfortable with asking me about specific phrases she wants to learn as well so that is helpful. We used our Google Doc with the three columns again in recording the Chinese phrase in pinyin, the English translation, and miscellaneous notes. I taught her the numbers as well, which are fairly straightforward in Chinese compared to other languages. We made a recording at the end of our session that she can use as a listening tool to practice her pronunciation."

"We went through 50 flashcards and a book about farm animals I brought. I encouraged the students to use Chinese as much as possible during class. We went through words about numbers, colors, fruits, and animals. We went through another set of flashcards and learned some new characters including nouns, adjectives etc. (sound, meaning, and writing). We reviewed body part words they already knew and learned new ones that they didn't know. We learned some words about directions. I gave them each a sheet to practice writing characters (about 20 plus). "

"I just finished having a Chinese lesson with the student. It has been awhile. He is still able to answer most of the questions I asked during the lesson. His ability to create a sentence becomes better and better. I am so glad to see that happen. I am looking forward to having the next lesson with him. I am sure he will be great in Chinese. "

"I taught the student how to tell time and the vocabulary for weekend. I also taught her how to say negatives and questions. We then continued learning the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, along with two previous songs, The Ni Hao song and Two Tigers."

"We had a great time in this session. The student was in a good mood and very cooperative. Then we played some new toys. One of them is the alphabet game. It had many small animals inside, so that I could show him the animals and then ask him to repeat after me. The other game we played was a counting and colors game. He was able to count from 1 to 10 in Mandarin after me. Overall, it was a great class."

"Today we covered general study techniques on how to learn vocabulary words. This technique involves the kinesthetic writing of characters, the audible speaking of sounds, and the visualization of each character in front of the student. We also began to discuss how to better translate Chinese sentences. He will be working on the new vocabulary technique as well as using the tools I provided him: an iPhone app and a website that can annotate paragraphs and give students a better fluency when reading aloud."

"In the first class, I went through Pinyin basics (from a to z) with my student, and practiced writing and reading these Pinyin symbols together. I tried to make it fun by encouraging her to sing with me. The student was interested in the lecture but struggling a bit in terms of memorizing the pronunciation of some letters such as a, e, d, q, and x. After the section, I made and sent the student's father a video for the girl to practice, and will give a her a little quiz at the beginning of next class. "

"The student is so sweet and smart. We reviewed colors and learn two songs. We will finish up the colors next time. "
