Tutoring Session #12

This past Tuesday, Abbas and I met at the Starbucks on Tennessee Street for our weekly tutoring session. This session was relatively brief compared to our previous meetings, as Abbas was solely focused on working on his survey presentation for class. Given that he already had the questions developed and interviewed several individuals, we discussed best practices for surveying students on campus. I reminded him that some students may be on their way to class and may not be able to chat but if he was able to stop someone, to explain his purpose quickly and kindly. He still needed several more interviews, so I let him ask me the questions and provided appropriate responses. This tutoring session was a bit more frustrating than previous ones, as I felt that he was not interpreting my questions or concerns in the same manner as I was expecting. There was serious confusion between the two of us at some points, but we worked through it and ended up having a relatively productive session. My frustration was also stemmed when he gave me a piece of chocolate as a thank you for being his tutor, which was an incredibly kind gesture on his part.
