Location: Drive time to Farmer's Market, Goodwill and Walmart and back to Wei's home. 9:00-9:30;11:30-12:00 (Drive time)

Topic/Skill: Speaking/listening

Feedback provided to the tutee: Wei wanted to have an activity/field trip this week as well. We went to the Farmer’s Market on Kerry Forest Parkway. During the drive we spoke about Wei’s first week of teaching on the way back to her house we spoke about what she wants to do after she finishes at FSU and the possibility of studying in Europe.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Wei is very enthusiastic and willing to learn. She enjoyed mingling and being able to practice her English. This type of activity showed me how important it is for listening and speaking to be out of a formal classroom setting sometimes.
