I’m starting my first day as a writing tutor at the East Chapel Hill High writing center this Wednesday.
I am excited about
- doing regular, hands-on service
- tutoring
- tutoring writing especially, because I think it’s a very important skill to learn
I am nervous because
- it will be my first day!!
- the writing center itself is pretty new
- I don’t know if I’m a strong enough writer to coach other people
- I want to apply to work in the Writing Center at UNC next year…what if I fail miserably at East?!
Things that should be comforting
- I did a three hour training session last week
- I usually get good grades on my papers
- I’ve helped other people revise their papers before, usually with pretty good success
- People generally think I’m a pretty good writer, I think??
- You don’t even have to be a great writer to be a good writing tutor
- I’m taking a class that directly pertains to the writing process and how to tutor in writing
