Hey everyone, today I watched Maddie’s primary school English tutorial.

It was great to see how friendly her student was and how well they got along. Her student was very comfortable with Maddie!They had a great relationship and they got along really well.

They started the session by going through her students homework, Maddie gave her last week. Maddie marked her homework and then went through any errors she made. She then explained the mistakes her student made, so she wouldn’t repeat the same mistake. Maddie then spent half of the session going through her students school homework. They read a book the student choose in class. They then spoke about the book. Maddie corrected any words her student pronounced incorrectly. She also explained any word her student didn’t understand.

They then moved onto spelling words to prepare her for her weekly spelling test. Maddie started by reading out each spelling word. She would then put the word into a sentence to give the word some context. She would then get her student to spell out the word and to write it on the whiteboard. Maddie also got her student to put the word into a sentence. If her student got the word wrong, Maddie would help explain why she spelt it incorrectly and would give her another chance to spell it correctly.

Maddie also then worked with her student on some maths. They did some fraction worksheets. They did some identification of different types of proper and improper fractions where Maddie got her student to colour in different fractions. They also did some addition and subtraction of fractions. When her student got stuck, Maddie would give her student some hints to help her.

Maddie then gave her student some fractions homework to do, based on what they worked on in the session.

Overall, Maddie did a great job helping her student. It was a great session and such a pleasure to observe. Keep it up!
