Waiting For Miki

One day last week, Miki had to stay after school to work on a group project. Her mother thought she would be home soon, but Miki ended up not coming home until after I had left. Instead of tutoring Miki, I helped her mother with her ESL work for the hour-and-a-half session. Her mother has a great sense of humor and is really smart, so it was lots of fun to work with her. And of course, teaching someone who wants to learn rather than someone who is being forced to makes all the difference. I wouldn't say I prefer adult learners, but it was nice to have a change of pace.
