- positive feedback for well-written sections

Lesson(s) I learned about tutoring and/or the tutee:
- the tutee is from Saudi Arabia and is in the process of applying for grad school in the Cybersecurity field
- sometimes, ESL tutoring isn't just about helping students understand all the grammar or the spelling but rather can also include just helping them with real-world situations, such as writing resumes and personal statements
- always good to ask, when using a more low-frequency word, if the tutee knows what this words means and then to give your definition, a synonym, and an example
- good to take the time in your tutoring sessions to answer some of their questions about culture, such as how July 4th is typically celebrated
