Isha shares
her experience tutoring her learner, Marisela:
As a college student involved in creative writing, poetry, and teaching English literacy, I strive to make every meeting with my student Maricela very engaging and inspiring. When Maricela first joined the library’s literacy program, she was eager and ready to dive straight into goal-oriented lessons, go page by page in the workbook, and learn flashcards. Though this progressed well, I realized that introducing her to some light reading, poetry, and current events could be a major breakthrough for her understanding of English. With this in mind, we started planning out all the activities we could do together on Zoom all while staying safe at home.
While
preparing for her citizenship exam and interview, Maricela has been especially
interested in the current issues regarding the US election and the COVID-19
pandemic. However, the topics that made headlines this past year were not
always uplifting. Together, Maricela and I chose to balance this by splitting
our time between reading the news, and reading a short story or poem that
reflects a positive outlook on life and learning. READ
