Last thursday, it slipped my mind to make a post about the latest progress that Mme Merlet has been making in Russian. Together with her, we have been reading a detective novel by a famous russian writer Boris Akunin named "Azazel'.
Unfortunately we did not have time to finish the whole novel because Mme Merlet preferred to move on to doing something different this week however I got very intrigued by the novel's plot and will most likely continue reading it at home. I was impressed with Mme Merlet's reading skills and I am very proud and pleased with her progress so far. I feel like by occasionally helping her with her learning of Russian, I am also making her life in Moscow much easier because she is now able to talk about basic things fluently and I know a lot of teachers in our school struggle with that.
After our last teaching session Mme Merlet asked me to prepare something of my choice for us to study this week. I have found a picture of three colored skin children playing in the street for us to talk about. I hope this will provoke some discussion for us and encourage Mme Merlet to think outside of the box and to attempt explaining more complex thought in Russian. We will see how that'll go on thursday.
I believe that by tutoring I:
- am being caring, open minded and reflective
- increase awareness of my strengths and areas for growth
- plan and initiate an activity
- show perseverance and commitment to my activity
- consider ethical implication of my actions
