Little Time, Little Work

Elodia was forty minutes late. I didn't call her because I had thought she was running late again like last week, and I didn't mind working on other things while I waited for her. When she arrived, she said she had thought about not coming, but decided to in the end. Her grandson had been born last weekend, and she had been taking care of him during the week, so had not done her homework. We started going over the present tense handouts that was her homework last week, but were only able to finish one activity. I told her to finish the rest of the activities, as she had done well after some explanation for the first one, and that next week would be our last session. I asked if there was anything she wanted to work on for next week, but she said there was not, so we agreed to work on past tense verbs. I know Elodia is busy with her family lately, and I know that I cannot teach her everything in the course of our meetings, but I do want her to walk away with a deeper confidence and understanding of the English language. I am looking forward to our next and last session, as I think we will be able to wrap up our time together and continue to make some more progress.
