hey lit
i just got a student who needs help with english and hired me to tutor them. the student will be doing an english assignment on anne frank, and i was wondering if any of you know a good resource where i can get a plot summary so i can have an idea of the book without actually reading the whole thing...
i remember using sparknotes in high school but i also remember it being incorrect at times.
this is my first real student. i want to be able to give her advice without having to read all the books she will be reading in the year ahead, but because she is entering 6th grade i am afraid i might have to so that i can make sure she doesnt get factual info incorrect... does anyone have experience doing english tutoring?

Looks like you'll be reading it together :)
Students learn best when they teach, and vice versa. Read through it with your student, approach the questions together.

don't take jobs you're obviously unprepared for.

If you can't read books aimed for 11-12-year-olds' comprehension within a matter of days (I just read my niece's homework assignment book overnight and helped her with it in the morning) then maybe English tutoring isn't for you
