Whenever our host Landon hears the words tutor, tutee, or even tutelage, they can’t help but giggle. Even outside of the word’s strange semantics, tutoring can have a negative connotation, because asking for it can be perceived as being unintelligent or inefficient; but that doesn’t have to be the case at all.
