Hmm...What to expect

I think this tutoring experience will be a fun one. Its not often that we get to work with students who are not within our classes or majors, so I am interested to see not only how much we help them, but perhaps how much we'll learn about ourselves as writers and mentors. My expectations are that we will be working with motivated students who are here voluntarily to work and learn how to write a successful paper. Since they will be writing GenEd papers, I'm sure through their research they could teach me a thing or two as well, which is key, because I think there needs to be a mutual understanding of willingness to learn from one another in order to make this a productive experience. Given my preconceived notions of this demographic of students, I think it will be important to keep in mind that they are not the most highly skilled writers, and that there will need to be a level of patience from us as the tutors, and the students as well. Ideally, I'd like to go into this with an open mind and expect nothing but a positive experience, and I'm sure it'll be an interesting one.
