Tutoring in English

Wow, I haven’t written in my blog for a while.  Not since the vacation.  Well since I have been back I have been hanging out on-line over the webcam a lot with my friend 瑞峰.  I wanted to get used to sitting on the webcam and seeing everything going on over there where he is.  Watching him work with the kids.

Now that he is moved into his new apartment I have gotten to start helping a little more with the kids too.  Sunday I got up extra early to meet up with him, a boy and the boy’s mother.  A little later two different girls came in too.  It was really a lot of fun, I actually got to try talking with the kids who were 13 and 11.  We could only ask and answer very simple questions like “what is your favorite color?”. “What time is it?” “Where are you from?” and such but it was still fun and a little challenging for me especially when 瑞峰 was off talking to the parents and I was left to figure out what the kids could or could not understand.  Mostly we did pretty good I think.  I only asked a couple of things that they could not answer.

Now I am looking forward to getting a better plan in order to really start working with the kids more.  I think I could really love this, its just too bad I am so far away, everything would be easier if I was there in person and not just over a webcam but hey, something is better than nothing right? hehe

I’m also planning a trip to China for about 3 weeks come February.  Then I can meet 瑞峰, his family and the kids.  I’ll hopefully be there over the Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival.  I am very excited at the thought of this!
