Do I get homework or extra materials?
Yes, very often! Many tutors on Turkish Mate understand the importance of reinforcing learning outside of the lesson time and are happy to provide homework assignments or supplementary materials.
It Depends on the Tutor and Your Agreement
While it's common practice, whether you receive homework or extra materials ultimately depends on the individual tutor's teaching style and the learning plan you agree upon together. Some tutors might assign homework regularly, while others might provide materials only upon request or focus solely on in-lesson activities.
Examples of What You Might Receive
If your tutor provides extra resources, they could include things like:
- Practice exercises (grammar drills, fill-in-the-blanks).
- Reading materials (short articles, stories adjusted to your level).
- Vocabulary lists or flashcards.
- Links to relevant online resources (videos, websites, quizzes).
- Writing prompts or short essay assignments.
- Listening comprehension exercises.
Discuss Your Preferences with Your Tutor
The best way to ensure you get the level of outside work you desire is to communicate directly with your tutor.
- Let them know if you want homework and extra materials to practice between lessons.
- Specify if you have a preference for the type of homework (e.g., more reading, less grammar).
- Discuss how much time you can realistically dedicate to homework each week.
You can have this conversation during your first lesson or send a message via the Turkish Mate messaging system beforehand. Most tutors appreciate knowing your expectations!
Yes, homework and extra materials are often part of the learning experience! Be proactive and discuss your preferences with your tutor to create the most effective learning plan for you.
