Kim TS #2

I met with my child tutee, Amidu, for the first time on Tuesday evening at 7 pm. Amidu is from Uganda and lives with his mother, father, and 4 siblings. During my tutoring lesson with Amidu, I had all five children watching my instruction and participating. Amidu is 10 years old and is very sweet and shy. He knew the alphabet, how to write his name, and we worked together on practicing colors. I gathered a few of his toys and we practiced counting with them and identifying the colors found in the various toys. Towards the end of the lesson all five children gathered around the screen of my iPhone and we watched the first episode of the Muzzy in Gondoland video series together. The children giggled at the video and I asked Amidu if he liked it to which he quietly replied “yes.” Tutoring him is going be difficult but I am looking forward to helping him feel more confident in speaking English. With his siblings just as interested in my lesson, I look forward to helping them all improve their English over the next 7 weeks.
