Tutor Time

Once again, Lisa and I tutored on Thursday. Originally, I guess we were scheduled a 3110 student but Lisa made sure that was changed, haha. That would have been either really difficult or awkward. We ended up getting a lady in a Political Science class that was writing a paper on re-electing someone in the Detroit Public Schools. It was a really good paper, I was actually interested in it. The only problems were simple grammatical errors and not being able to write her thoughts clear enough for the reader. Lisa and I helped her and she was a pleasure to tutor because she seemed really excited that we were helping her! I think we did a really good job this week and I was so involved with this one that I actually stayed until 2pm and I have a class at 150pm...oops!!! She admitted to us that she was a little embarassed being in the Writing Center because she was older and she felt weird. Lisa and I definately reassured her that she shouldn't be embarassed and that her paper was actually really really good! Everyone needs help once in a while! Anyway, I'm just really excited about this past tutoring experience, it was fun.
