Location: Dirac

Topic/Skill: Speaking/Conversation

Feedback provided to the tutee: I helped my tutee practice her conversation. I prepared an interview scenario based on her resume and the job position she is interviewing for as Front Desk Assistant at the Heritage Museum in Dodd Hall.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned a lot about my tutee and her professional background. It also taught me to adjust to the tutee’s needs. I had to explain what the Heritage Museum’s mission was and what objects they have in their collection to tailor her responses.
