Dylan TS#13

I tutored Andy and his cousin, Gilbert, on July 26th from 2:00 till 3:00. Gilbert is traveling from South Korea, and his parents wanted him to practice his spoken English while he was here. It seems common for Korean families to have their children study and take classes on vacation. This is very interesting to me because I would have thrown a temper tantrum as a child if I was told to go to summer class on vacation. None the less, I met Gilbert and was surprised by his English skills instantly. We played go fish again because I wanted Andy to be comfortable with the game while I tried to teach Gilbert. They seemed to like the game and getting Gilbert to speak English was very simple. The game did get a little hostile as the two relatives picked on each other and Andy almost cried multiple times. The session was good because the cousins spoke English the entire time and I got to teach Gilbert some new words. I don't know if I will ever accept a sibling tutoring session again because things got out of hand quickly, multiple times. I think both of my tutees were to comfortable with each other, which raised a lot of problems.
