Jan
shares her experience tutoring her learner, Bao: A quote from Winston Churchill
sums up my experience with my adult learner, Bao – “Attitude is a little thing
that makes a big difference.”
As
a former teacher and administrator, I have found that a student’s attitude is
an important determiner of future success. From our first meeting three months
ago, it was evident that Bao was a determined and committed learner. Her desire
to strengthen her communication skills, both in writing and speaking, has guided
our weekly learning sessions.
To
achieve these goals, we have discussed current events, increased knowledge of
content vocabulary and integrated writing skills through the reading of a
weekly newsletter, “News for You.” In addition, we are enjoying reading a novel
that supports Bao’s comprehension, vocabulary, writing and reading fluency.
Connecting her prior knowledge and life experiences with her learning goals has
allowed her to make great strides towards the achievement of her goals.
The
Placentia
Library’s adult literacy program has allowed me to re-connect with my
passion for teaching and share my experience with an enthusiastic and dedicated
adult.
