French club: initiation

I, along with two of my classmates (Dasha and Natalia), decided to organise a French club for IGCSE students who may require any sort of help with either the language itself or the actual preparation for the exams; having passed our French IGCSE's with good grades, we concluded that we have enough experience and knowledge to tutor those who are either only at the beginning or halfway through the course. We decided to make the activity run once a week on every Wednesday, which would both allow us extra time for preparation as well as give the students more opportunities to come with queries which they wish to be answered.

Yesterday, the very first club took place, and we had a grand total of two year 10 students; we began with asking them what sort of help they desired, as well was what their experience of learning the language is. Having figured all of that out, we began with a brief explanation as to what the exams will require from them, and gave tips on how to gain the most out of their level of French; all of us contributed to the discussion and helped each other out by filling in on any information which may have been missed. Our two apprentices seemed to have enjoyed the session, and upon leaving they assured us that they would gladly attend again the following week. This was indeed a new challenge for me as I have never previously organised a club, especially one where you take on quite a lot of responsibility since you'll be helping pupils out with their first major exams; this is one very important reason as to why I will be devoting a lot of my time to this activity, all because I understand the importance of passing exams with a good grade and I wish to help out others by sharing my erudition with them, which will in turn bring out the caring aspect of my character.

Me tutoring the students

With this being our very first experience of hosting a club, we made a few errors which we will work towards correcting for next week: a misunderstanding between ourselves and the French teacher had occurred concerning the day of the week and the time the club will take place, as during Wednesday lunchtime the teacher prefers to reside in her classroom, which is why we should've confirmed everything with her prior to beginning the activity, so that neither of us would be interrupted from our work. We also lacked a concrete plan of what we were going to do on our first day, which caused us some confusion and loss of valuable time; for the next session I will promptly consult with my group as to what they wish to do during the lesson, and I will also make sure to discuss with the students any questions which they may have, so that we could help answer them during the next club.
