Today I have tutored our french teacher for the first time this term. The first couple of weeks were stressful for Mme Merlet as she had a lot of marking to do but she expressed her wish to continue with our lessons on lunchtimes this term as well. I was very glad that she did because that was an indication to me that she enjoyed our previous lessons.
The topic of today’s lesson was “Our Body” and I have taught Mme how are different body parts called in Russian. Together we drew a body and a face and annotated all around the pictures. After this we have played a russian version of “Guess Who?” to make the new material settle and to practice asking questions about appearance. In the end of the lesson that ran over 30 minutes I asked my “student” to review what we have studied at home. Next lesson I plan to bring in an image of a woman or a man and ask Mme Merlet to describe her/him in detail.
Overall I think tutoring is a great service activity to get involved in as it develops organizational and communicative skills. I strongly advice everyone with fluent russian to ask around teachers (especially those who have joined our school this year) if they need help.
Meanwhile I have already:
- undertaken a challenge of making the lessons interesting and educative
- developed organizational and communicative skills
- considered ethical implications of my actions
