Location: Zoom
Topic/Skill: Emails, Immigration law situation
Feedback provided to tutee:
- tutee did not have anything he needed to work on
- explained email follow-up etiquette and helped him to craft a follow-up email to send to a professor who is reviewing his personal statement
- talked with each other about the differences in his culture and American culture in regards to sending emails vs. talking in person
- discussed the situation he is facing as an international student with the law saying that international students have to take in-person classes in the Fall or they will otherwise have to leave the country
Lesson(s) I learned about tutoring and/or the tutee:
- learned that emails are not a very common form of communication in Saudi Arabia, as they tend to just schedule a meeting with the person
- this is quite a shift for such international students, as professors tend to only want to meet in person if the matter will take some time to discuss and prefer emails for anything else
