Today in my Foundations class we had our first peer review since I have been in Writing 240. I immediately noticed that I was using tutoring strategies that we have learned in class. I was taking notes, and checking to make sure everything was working to prove the person’s thesis statement. During this I realized tutoring can be somewhat tough. The fact that the person was reading through their essay very quickly did not help, but it was kind of tough to keep track of everything while trying to jot little notes down. I assume like anything, with practice it will get easier, but I am just worried about my first few tutoring sessions and not being a very good tutor. Hopefully when I do my first session it is a little bit easier than this one.

You will figure out what works best for you, Chris. YOu can always stop someone and skim the material again in your head. That's totally normal, and you can merely say, "Can we just stop here for a second so that I can make sure I'm fully getting your point?".
