Tutoring #3 at the Multicultural Center

I tutored Kayla from China, Younsung, Sungsub, and Seongbong from South Korea today at the Multicultural center. I'm always a bit more nervous to tutor non-CIES English learners for some reason. Maybe it's because they don't have a set agenda for me like a CIES student with homework. It's good practice for me though- it brings out my creative side! Last time I met with Sungsub he told me that he wanted to work on job interviews in English because in South Korea job interviews are mostly in English. A mock interview sounded like a fun and advantageous thing to do for both of us! I printed out several copies of interview questions with the name of the website that I found them on. I was prepared when 4 people showed up today. We sat in a circle as I interviewed each of them. I asked them each one question at a time. We went over several questions within the hour that we were there. I learned that men in Korea have to serve a mandatory 2 years in the military there and that there is a law saying that women in China aren't allowed to marry until age 20 and men until age 22. I know that I am helping them with certain skills in English, but I feel like I learn new things everytime I tutor them without even anticipating it. It is one of the best and most worth while trade offs I could ever ask for.
