My very first tutoring session was with Bumsoo Park. We met at the Starbucks on Tennessee Street right next to the Hecht House.
Bumsoo was a little quiet but I knew beforehand that he was a Sports Management Doctorate student. With this knowledge in mind, I started to bring up sports and that got him to speak a little more freely. He said that he most enjoys soccer and actually plays regularly at the IM fields next to the Pensacola parking garage. I asked him if he was following the Euro Cup and he said that he doesn't have a team that he's particularly rooting for but still enjoys watching the games.
After talking about sports for about 20 minutes I figured it was about time to get back on track and asked him what area of English he wants the most help with. He said that he feels his speaking, writing, and listening are strong, but his grammar and vocabulary need some work. I told him that come next session I will have something along those weaknesses prepared for him to work on.
Soon after we got back to our conversation of sports and then decided it was time to leave.
