my experience in tutoring two of students: part one

Tutoring about How to Differentiate Simple Past and Simple perfect Tenses During Three Meetings

The tutoring was conducted at students in third year of senior high school, they are AF and PJ who 17^th years old (male and female). Based on tutor’s interview they have a problem in differentiating  between simple past tense and simple perfect tense in communication context, they want the tutor showed them how to use the tenses when they communicate with other person effectively. Thus, the students asked the tutor to help them to solve the problem.

The tutoring was occured in cafeteria and tutor’s house during three meetings. One meeting in cafeteria and two meetings in tutor’s house. Why it happened in cafeteria first? Because the tutor wants make the students comfortable in first meeting with shared their lamentation. They can freely mentioned their problem in understanding the tenses in that meeting. Then, the second and third meeting the tutoring was conducted in tutor’s house, the students came to the house at night and learned together.

The tutor used the quantum teaching learning method in teaching and learning the tenses. The tutor wants the students close with her before the lesson occurred. Before the tutor teach them about the simple past and simple perfect the tutor indicate their point problem in differentiating between both of the tenses through asking them some questions to make them close with her. Meanwhile, about the media, the tutor used a grammar book, cards, and board game to help the lesson happen successfully.
