I, unfortunately, I have not started my service-learning project. It has been difficult figuring out how to make this work with my schedule and the high schools. Playing a sport and then trying to do more extracurriculars is proving to be as hard as it sounds. It has been frustrating throughout the whole process. Even the beginning of getting approved. Then we found a day that would work and had it all planned out, until the next day them saying that the one day we could go and would work with our schedules was not going to work for them. So, therefore, we have done nothing. We should be getting something figured out in the near future and hopefully helping out other students with something on campus.

A tutor’s role changes from appointment to appointment. Heres a few tips for each role a tutor plays.
The Ally – A friend, someone on your side
The Coach – Help you do the work for yourself and work through issues
The Commentator – Keeps you on track and see the whole paper
The Collaborator – Engage the writer and discuss
The Writing Expert – Learn along with the student and model asking for help is good
The Learner – Being unfamiliar with the topic makes you a good audience and if you are familiar with the topic don’t interject too much. Be willing to learn along with them.
The Counselor – Be willing to listen and hear what they have to say and try to give advice on what you do know. Provide them with the resources you have.
