I had a little chat with my tutor about my English problem on Friday and just received an e-mail from him and the e-mail is about his suggestion--- to get advice from the course coordinator and that's it!
Should I reply it?
***I felt a bit disappointed, cos I thought he could help me and I feel that he doesnt really care about me... sad :(

At university, tutor-pupil relationships are always more adult. The reason he probably didn't answer you, is because tutors often don't think that it is their responsibility to help out their students in this way. They see it as your advisors job and would rather you asked someone else. You see they don't have any vested interest. Don't worry about responding to the e-mail. You should! send a simple one back saying thanks for your advice. Don't worry not all tutors are like this. Some actually WANT to help their students. Although from experience English departments are always the worst for support. Don't let this put you off asking for help again. In fact from experience I found that the students who were persistent were the ones who the tutors liked most. Just don't be overly persistent. Be friendly and maintain a professional adult relationship, show that you are willing to be friendly but see them on a level and remember that YOU PAY FEES FOR THOSE GUY'S HELP it is not their duty, but if they are nice enough and have the time they should be able to help you out. Just remember, don't expect them to go through the work with you, but do expect them to give you any tips on books that you could read that might help clarify the problem for you or websites that would help. If the problem is academic, suggest this when you e-mail him.

When I receive an email, I always respond back. Even if I have to send a reply a few days later, I'll apoligize for being late and then give my message :) I usually get a reply. It's fun getting a message, but it's even more fun when you get a reply back ^^ I wish I had L's email address. Gosh, we could type back forth about the bestest sweets in the world. And then we could challenge each other at a game of tennis online or something! XD

Please ensure your direction is correct. Do you want proper English lessons, and if so, take his advice. If you are interested in your tutor for more than English, such as a personal relationship, then I understand your disappointment and being sad....just be true to yourself as to why you are disappointed.

OK, I see about you "hanging with the teachers in high school, but indeed, hanging with university teachers is a wee bit different. Sorry I misread your intentions. Please don't feel disappointed, the tutor did the right thing, I am sure.

Since he is only a tutor he may not be able to help you with this problem that you have.

Yes you should reply, he might not have helped but at least he tried......he could have just forgotten about it.
