Bonding over Biology

So I had, what I feel, was the best tutoring experience this week.  I had a tutee who came in seeking help with a proposal letter for a professor's research project.  He felt that all he needed was someone to look at how it was structured and help with little grammatical errors.  As a walk-in, what we felt would be a quick 30 minute session, turned into an hour long intense session.  He already had the letter written and together we read it aloud and went over it paragraph by paragraph.  I was more hands on with him then I'd been in other sessions.  We actually discussed what he wanted to say and I helped him word it in a way that his point came across very clear. Through the session we discussed his past, I showed him how he could "show" more (even in a proposal letter), and we shared laughs.  I've never been a fan of biology or science, but reading his proposal letter and hearing about the research was exciting.  We really had a great time working on his paper, it didn't seem stressful or forced at all; in the end we both ended the seeing feeling positive about the work.  Overall, he was a model tutoring session.
