I had such a good session today! I met with Dojun Kim for the third time, and I feel like I'm finally getting into the swing of tutoring online. In our last session, he said the sentence "I got here ago." In my error correction, I realized that Dojun had never learned about time period phrases. So, for this session, I planned on expanding on the time phrases we learned on tuesday. I went online for some inspiration, and I found a great lesson that talked about the time period phrases “for," “since,” and “ago.” I started with FOR phrases. This one was somewhat hard because they can apply to different verb tenses. Dojun is hyper sensitive to saying something incorrectly, so he is always looking for the golden rule to lesson: he wants to find the one rule that he can abide by. I have to keep telling him that grammar is contextual, and the only way to find the golden rule is through practice. Learning the “since” phrases were somewhat easier. By the time we finished our hour, he said he felt really good. He said the lesson was clear, and that he learned a lot. So, yay!
