College Professor being Unprofessional?

Question:College professor in spain wants to meet my sister outside of class for help learning english before he comes to teach in the US. My sister could use help learning spanish. Is it just me, or is it completly out of line for a teacher to meet one on one with a student out of class?

The guy isnt an old guy, hes in his 30's. Just seems wrong to me. What is the proper way to act as a teacher in the US, and if you know, in spain?

Answers:
That's not unprofessional at all. College isn't like middle or high school. Professors sit with their students in the caf, meet them for coffee, and see them for advising. Just have her meet him at a coffee shop or somewhere in public and there shouldn't be any issues. The student teacher relationship in college is SO much different than other student teacher relationships.
If you're getting bad vibes, keep an eye on the situation, as best you can. The idea of meeting in public is a good one. Have your sister mention your name occasionally, along with what a caring brother you are, even though you have a bit of a temper--and you are thinking of visiting Spain.
