How I Feel About Becoming a Writing Tutor.

I feel very nervous about becoming a writing tutor because I feel that I am not that great of a writer. If I feel that way, how am I going to give the confidence to my tutee if I don't have the confidence? I do get good grades on my papers but the hard part for me is the writing process. It's always hard for me to start writing any papers because I never fell organized about my thoughts. Probably the tutee that I'll have will have the same problem and I feel like I won't be able to help them. I also feel that tutoring has a lot of pressure. I feel like I might give the tutee the wrong advice and they will do horribly on their paper. I really don't want to have that situation because then I'll feel so horrible myself. I'm very nervous about tutoring someone that is my peer. I am a shy person and I don't want to mess up the tutoring session because I have nothing to say or I'm too nervous or too shy to say something. I might think that they are a better writer than me and that I won’t be any help to them. I also feel that tutoring will be helpful for me because then I'll be able to get a feel of it and I'll be prepared more for when I become a teacher. I think it will be easier to tutor Elementary school than college students for me because I feel more comfortable with helping out children. Like I said before I don't want to give my tutee the wrong advice and I won’t be helpful to them.
