So i have my first student! Now when i go to work on Mondays and Wednesdays i will also be spending about an hour helping Su Mei learn English!!!

Su Mei is a tiny wisp of a women. She is from China and has been here.. a little over a year i think. She is super sweet! She does very well with pronunciation but her comprehension needs some work so ( Read more... )

Beth, if you need anything (materials, strategies, etc), I'd be more than willing to talk with you!

I'm certified in Wilson, which is a phonics intervention program for children AND adults, and works wonders...I do have some of their supplies if you'd like to borrow them for awhile, or some I have extras of. Just let me know.

Thank you Elizabeth! I have heard of Wilson, a few of the more advanced teachers use it! I don't think i'll be using it anytime soon, Su Mei is still begining. But i might hit you up for some ideas on how to mix up her routine. But i probably need to get a better feel for her. :)

Congrats on the teaching job! :D

And kinda random...you're still willing to be my guest book attendant right? (I hope so because you're in my program!) I just wanted to make sure! :D

We should meet up for coffee sometime before the wedding! I miss you!

Hey! As of now I'm babysitting Saturday evening (like 6ish) and don't have plans for that morning yet. Other than that I also have Sunday afternoon (btwn church and choir) free! Let me know which would work better for you!

Hooray for teaching! Glad to see things are going well at the ol' workplace. I am using Livejournal at my workplace, so that should give you some idea of the rigorous workload I have today!
