Having the Chance...

Having the chance to tutor a student on Monday for the first time is pretty exciting for me. I will introduce myself of course and let the students introduce themselves to let them know that i am interested in knowing their name and learning more about their paper. I will most definitely give them a friendly vibe and let them know that I am not there to criticize them but to help them get a good grade on their paper. 

     I will mostly focus on the structure of their paper and help them organize their ideas, look for a thesis, talk more about their topic, read their paper out loud to get a better understanding, take notes and MOST importantly, ask if I can write on their paper. I will not ignore their grammar issues or punctuation because I do want them to get a good grade on their paper, so I will try to tell them in a positive way what they can fix. The reason why I cannot just attack them with their problems on their paper is because they will not be interested in me helping them with their paper anymore. Giving them a few compliments here and there to let them know that their paper is good but also needs a little work will make them feel good about themselves. 

 I am very excited and cannot wait to tutor a few students in ENG 101!
