Vito - TS #4

May 14th Tuesday


Location: CIES building - Room 316


Topic/Skill: Reading & Writing/Email construction and comprehension.


Feedback provided to the tutee: I helped clear up some email misunderstandings Wei brought to me and we talked about email construction and common email practices in the USA.


Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned a lot about the pressures of someone like Wei moving to the US without any prior knowledge about common email practices. There are many unwritten messages in some statements in emails here because Americans ere on the side of being as nice as possible over email. This can cause misunderstandings regarding intent and planning for opportunities. 



****I got the order mixed up between two of them and forgot one of my sessions with Wei. Whoopsie!****
