Tutoring an EL Student

The following 11 blogs will be journal reflections on my time spent working with an EL student in an area high school. This student is a 9th grade boy from Mexico. His family moved to the United States just four months before I met him. He is a great student, hard worker and a joy to speak to. Unfortunately, he is afraid to speak English. Throughout the upcoming tutoring process, my goal is to allow this student to feel more comfortable speaking and learning in his English classrooms.
