I got an email from the lady in Spain in charge of my exchange there asking what the column labeled "tutor" meant (I had no tutor listed, and nearly everyone else did.)

She emailed back saying "It seems in addition to Spanish we're going to have to teach you some English. A tutor is the same as a counselor."

Duh!! I thought it was pretty rude. That's obviously not what I had meant. I want to email her back so she doesn't think I'm a complete idiot, but I want to do it in Spanish. Can you correct my response?

Jaja, gracias, sabía lo que significa tutor- simplemente no estaba segura por qué la columna estaba en blanco para mí.

You did well. I might add the word "ya", "ya sabía lo que...". I already knew. Also, that does sound a bit rude, but you never know, she may have to put up with a bunch of dumb questions or something and assumed yours was another.
