Becoming a writing tutor is not as easy as i thought it might be. I knew that it was not going to be simple but i had no idea about all the things I must remember while sitting next to that student. Not praising them if their writing is very good, and to not be a therapist or a friend and talk off topic about the upcoming weekend or what happened last weekend. Sometimes when you are sitting with a person for an hour if they come multiple times a week you can get sidetracked and it is going to be difficult to stay on topic and talk about only their writing.
Its is also a nervous feeling that is growing even more now that the time for tutoring is getting even closer. The student's writing improvement skills are in my grasp, also maybe the determination if they pass or fail can be my fault. There is a lot of pressure on me and I don't like being under pressure if its for someone else s outcome. However i do fee very anxious and excited to help these writers improve their skill and pass the test they need to take.
