Spanish lessons with a UCES tutor focused on conversation, culture, and personal growth

Regina tutored a student from Fort Worth in Spanish, focusing on reflexive verbs, adverbs of time and frequency, and the correct usage of infinitives. The learner practiced conjugating reflexive verbs and constructing sentences using adverbs to describe daily routines, receiving immediate feedback from Regina. They plan to continue practicing routines and adverbs in the next class.

Regina and Chad's recent Spanish lesson covered a range of topics, including a review of scheduling and Spanish vocabulary for body parts, alongside an in-depth look at reflexive verbs. They actively practiced identifying body parts and role-played a doctor-patient scenario. Regina provided clear explanations on the placement of reflexive verb pronouns, emphasizing their position before conjugated verbs or attached to infinitives and gerunds. She also clarified the use of definite articles over possessives and discussed how reflexivity alters verb meanings. The pair focused on 'antes de' and 'después de' constructions, which necessitate infinitives, and worked on conjugating reflexive verbs such as 'levantarse' and 'vestirse.' Recognizing Chad's difficulties with conjugation, Regina intends to review reflexive pronouns and the 'para' + infinitive structure in their upcoming lesson.

Regina tutored Emma in a Spanish lesson, commencing with a review of hotel vocabulary and a subsequent speaking practice activity. They then transitioned to learning the conditional tense, covering its various uses and irregular verbs, with Emma actively engaging in conjugation practice. Regina has plans to adjust next week's schedule to accommodate Emma's upcoming camping trip.

Regina and Chad's Spanish lesson was shortened due to a scheduling issue. During their time, they focused on bathroom vocabulary and reflexive verbs, specifically "llamar/llamarse." Regina plans to send them a grammar sheet, and their next lesson will delve further into reflexive verb practice, covering pronoun placement and irregular verbs.

Regina guided Chad through a Spanish lesson involving listening comprehension, grammar exercises (conjugation, sentence construction, descriptive writing), and a speaking activity. Chad faced technical difficulties and received vocabulary assistance from Regina, who will review his work later.

Regina tutored Emma on the complexities of double object pronouns in Spanish, covering their placement, changes in the third person, and conjugation with different verb forms. Emma practiced these concepts through interview questions and exercises focused on lending/borrowing vocabulary. Regina assigned no specific homework but suggested continued practice and mentioned that the next session would cover easier vocabulary.
