[tutoring] ...how did I manage to get tangled up with an Iranian drama queen??
ţħιмƀ£ε σʹƒµςκѕ
... oh dear...
→ yard sard
yeah I... I'm trying to figure out how to describe this guy
→ yard sard
I've had a great time talking to him so far, but he's kind of... intense
→ yard sard
and he has a very clear way of how he wants things to go, and is preeeetty bossy underneath all his smiling
→ yard sard
at some point, he told me that his teacher used to call him "George Bush (sr.) because he would boss the other kids around. and I quietly laughed because I could so totally see it happening.
→ yard sard
he's this charasmatic, intense, driven, loner dude.... who I am now realizing is just as responsible for his current lot in life as I'd expected. because I know a bunch of dudes just like him.
→ yard sard
most of them were DMs for our D&D games gfjdkljghk
→ yard sard
but yeah, it's been fine so far, and we've actually only had two sessions...
→ yard sard
but a day or so after our last session, I start getting these messages on the website, telling me to check skype
→ yard sard
and on skype, there is this whole train of messages asking if Im there, if we can talk, and he starts going into how much he likes my personality...
→ yard sard
BUT he needs to be honest with me
→ yard sard
and how he has "lost all of his friends because of his honesty" and how he "might lose me too" after he tells me what he has to say
→ yard sard
SIGH.
→ yard sard
when I log on... he starts telling me that he got into a huge argument with his boss and slapped him (???) so now he's not going on the business trip that would have gotten in the way of our future lessons
→ yard sard
he wants to book more lessons with me because I'm such a nice person and he likes working with me... BUT
→ yard sard
I am "not a very good teacher" and he asked if I wanted to know how I could be a better one.
→ yard sard
...we've had two sessions, buddy, and you've talked over me in both of them.

bees-n-murders

bees-n-murders
this is close
→ yard sard
DGFSHgf thank you
→ yard sard
like... we've only had two sessions. but in that time:
→ yard sard
we've mostly just talked about deep shit?? like about whether or not I have a "dream." I thought I did, but every time I tried to answer his questions and explain my dream, he would go "NO that's not what I mean. do you have a dream."
→ yard sard
our first session, he insisted that I could be harsh with him! I could "punish" him@
→ yard sard
our whole second session was him reading two Ted Talk lectures to me... so I don't know how I failed him as a teacher during that, since he talked up until our last 10 minutes
→ yard sard
also, in between sessions, he private messaged me a link to the Counting Stars music video, because it would help me know what he meant about having a dream gfdhkj

yeah look okay
Yale Sale →
like

this guy needs to calm the fuck down
Yale Sale →
if he wants a better teaching experience, he should stop trying to learn English at four in the morning.
Yale Sale →
and also pay you more.
Yale Sale →
and also calm the fuck down and get some sleep
Yale Sale →
ALSO I'm so over that "I've lost all my friends because I'm too honest" bullshit, like, no you lost your friends because you're a huge asshole and intolerable to talk to

lmfaooo that's right
→ yard sard
he's learning 1:30-2:30am his time
→ yard sard
after he gets home from work
→ yard sard
and he originally said that I was "the light at the end of the tunnel" for him hoping to get the 8.5 he needs on the IELTS or whatever test it is
→ yard sard
...I'm a "Community Tutor" that offers informal tutoring sessions on conversational English, at one of the absolute lowest paygrades on the site
→ yard sard
which he also originally tried to talk me down from to something lower
→ yard sard
so lmfao I don't know what magic he was expecting from me, especially in our first two sessions
