On July 31 I tutored Do-jun for the sixth time. Similarly to last week, we started off by rewatching the difficult video from the previous session. I had a bit to go over again because the concepts were so deep beyond what was outwardly said. It's a really funny clip once you understand what is going on, and seeing Do-jun chuckling was my confirmation that he was getting it at least a little. The new video for this week allowed me to discuss homeschooling practices in America. It is apparently either very uncommon or not a thing at all in South Korea. I wasn't sure. Some of the concepts were a little difficult in this video, but not to the extent of last week. For instance the school used a student classification system of "Leopards", "Chipmunks", and "Giraffes" to disguise to the students and parents which students were advanced, average, and below average. Once you understand this admittedly somewhat unintuitive concept, it's not too difficult to follow what's being said. I worry a little that Do-jun sometimes says he understands when he's gotten maybe 75-85% of what I'm explaining. In the end it just means that I explain something a second time and we watch the video again, so hey, more listening practice, but it leaves me unsure if I need to say more or let him try things out.
