Today I had my first virtual tutoring session for Gators for Refugee Medical Relief (GRMR). After a pretty extensive training about English as a Second Language learning techniques, how to work with different ages, and even some lessons about trauma and how that affects children in particular (as refugees, most of the people we work with have experienced trauma), I was excited to get to apply what I learned and help my student learn reading and speaking English.
I am paired with a young child for the duration of the summer, and each week I will be meeting with him to go over lessons in English. Our first introductory meeting and lesson went well!
