Today I met my tutoring partner, Woon Jee Lee. Woon Jee told me that she grew up in Korea, but that her name is actually Chinese and means “Fragrance of Flower.” She is currently working towards her doctorate in Instructional Systems from Florida State University. Having spent the past two years living in Tallahassee, Woon Jee’s English skills are very impressive. She expressed interest in developing her academic vocabulary and writing skills, as well as her conversational English. She’s extremely nice and seems really excited about getting to work together. At first she was a little apprehensive about the age gap between us, but I think towards the end of our conversation she seemed to feel more at ease.
For our next session, Woon Jee would like to review the paper she’s written as part of her prelims for her doctoral degree. My goal for this first meeting is to allow her to work through her paper in an attempt to see how far she can assess and correct her own work. This will give me the opportunity to see what areas she might be struggling in and it will help direct our future meetings.
Remember the error correction symbols. Work on getting her to develop her editing skills and her grammar accuracy.
