So I know this is the third time I have blogged today...I guess I am making it up for not doing much the last few weeks. oh well! I just had to write about how excited I am to be tutoring again! I signed up to tutor Spanish children in English and tonight was my first night with the kids I was given. Their names are Reyes (girl) and Gonzalo (boy). Its funny because reyes means kings in English, but she's a girl, haha. Anyways, Reyes is in 3rd grade and absolutely adorable! She told me how she loves English grammar and speaking English and wants to be an English teacher when she grows up. ha She speaks English well just struggles on the pronunciation. She likes to quiz me on how much Spanish I know by asking me how to say the names of different animals! Gonzalo is in 5th grade and such a gentleman! I quizzed him on his notes because he has a test tomorrow which had some things I never learned in English class growing up. I had to read the directions and figure it out myself before I could help him! Crazy how they are using so many different methods now. The two kids were so cute and loved speaking English to me, and to eachother. Their mother doens't know any but I could tell she was so excited for me to be there and loved asking me about where I was from and about myself. Reyes kept giving me hugs as I left and said she thinks I am a good teacher...after just 1/2 hour with her! What a confidence booster! :) I had such a great time and it felt so great to be able to interact with children again. It just reenforces my excitement about teaching! Maybe I can start working in their school.....maybe. On top of all of that, which I am so excited about, I get paid too! 7 euro per hour ...I am loving this!
Really excited to go back on Wednesday night! :)
I'll try to get some pics with them. Maybe next time!
Besos,
Betsy
