Award-Winning Private Essay Editing Tutoring in Enterprise, NV

The student did a really nice job today! We read two kindergarten level books and one whole level-1 reader book. He was so excited to have gotten through all of them. I think this confidence will be really beneficial moving forward.

The session really revolved around determining where the student is at with his English and deciding how we would proceed so that he can improve. His goal with the sessions is, in his words, "to understand my business in English." This week, he will translate into English part of a presentation and read articles about the Transpacific Partnership in English so that we can discuss its potential effects on investments and other aspects of his business. We will also review the translated portion of the presentation, as necessary.

The student and I worked on a reading passage that required inference making, summarizing, plot analysis, and literary device knowledge. She was a very willing reader and worked hard to complete each assignment asked of her. To work on summarizing, we used the "just the gist" strategy to help her narrow down the important points of each passage. She was left with the second half of the story to read before next week.

The student read three Disney Princess books. We also worked on vocabulary words and her ability to write and spell vocabulary words. At the end of the session, she helped me read from a Star Wars book.

Today we worked on the summaries that the student wrote for the reading chapters he finished. Then we moved on to the large writing projects that he is working on in school, including a document-based essay on the Articles of Confederation and a training exercise for finding credible sources online. I left him with a good amount of homework working on reading, vocabulary definitions, semantics exercises, and essay outlining.

Today we reviewed long e sight words and we learned new words that begin with the letter H. We practiced saying the H words and we read from a book and pointed out the H words. The student is very excited about circling and/or pointing out sight words he's learned in the newspaper. We discussed the difference between the capital H and the lower case h and I left an assignment with him to practice printing both. We added three new sight words to practice this week: you, my, and it. I see some progress in his reading ability as he seems so intent on finding his sight words and he is also increasing the amount of sight words he owns.
