I'm glad to help!

    my immediate thought was Knowing my luck I'll be assigned to a group from either Portugal or Saudi Arabia

Don't worry about that. You won't be "assigned" to anybody. What will probably happen is they will take your name, or introduce you to a teacher, and you will casually meet a couple of students and see if you all want to hang out together. It's a casual thing, helping people out. Not an obligation or structured study class.
