Award-Winning Private English Tutoring in Hickory Hills, IL

"We did correct the homework and went back over the future tense. We did exercises. The student has homework for next session. Also, I wanted to do irregular verbs, their meanings, and the ones who have a participle. The student said she would like to improve these type of verbs. So this is what we are going to do for our next session."

"During my session with the student, we worked on numbers and measurement: the ordinal numbers, fractions, and quantity expressions. We also worked on some synonym and antonym exercises, and then moved onto pronunciation for the th consonant sounds, /?/ (silent) and /o/ (sounded), and the vowel /i/ and /I/ sounds. She struggled with the tongue placement for the th consonant sounds, sometimes pronouncing the th with a d sound. She seemed positive and upbeat about the material we reviewed. For her pronunciation, we worked on accentuating the proper tongue placement in order to produce the correct sounds for the th words. For extra practice, the student will reread the reading material I gave her last session and look up the words she did not understand in an English-English dictionary, then answer the reading comprehension questions that accompanied the text. She seems very comfortable speaking English with me which I feel will help boost her confidence speaking English at work and with her coworkers."
