Tutor Experience

After completing my first actual tutoring job in the writing center, I'm happy to say that I felt totally prepared for the session. Peer tutoring taught us all of the necessary skills we need to use in the writing center, form the little things like being friendly, to the bigger things like methods of helping certain types of writing. For my tutoring session, I worked with a pair of students on a group paper assignment. One of them was an ESL student, so it was an interesting challenge trying to balance out correcting the grammar with correcting the overall points of the paper. It was a business paper, a topic which I know little about...but I believe I stuck to the specifics we learned in class and did a sufficient job in helping the students out with their paper. I didn't feel as nervous as I thought I would and the session went smoothly overall. Seems like I learned all I needed to from class!
