Abstract
As the U.S. population continues to diversify, cross-cultural interactions are increasingly common. Preconceptions of other cultural groups influence those interactions. In this article, two teacher educators interview ten college students, discussing how experiences in a cross-cultural tutoring program changed their perceptions and beliefs about working with culturally diverse elementary students. The college students identify several aspects of the tutoring program impacting their overall educational experience.
