Tutee: "The instructor just has it out for me. No one in class likes him, nobody understands what he wants anyway."
Me: I am sorry that you feel that way, but I am sure that is not the case. As far as understanding what the instructor wants lets take a look at your syllabus which explains his expectations. From there we can see what assignments you need to accomplish and figure out how to make that happen.
When a person doesn't fully grasp the material or when they don't wanna admit they need help, it's easy for them to make excuses and play the blame game. Your choice of handling this situation allows you to remain unbiased and help you get to the root of the issue at hand.
