Expectations Case

Expectations Paper

Ever since I can remember, writing has always been one of those things I am good at. Without even realizing I have been "tutoring" fellow students ever since middle school, as they would always ask me for help writing papers. Now I am taking my talent and helping out fellow college students. In the following paragraphs I will go over what I expect from the course, my strengths and weaknesses, and what led me to become a tutor.

Expectations for the course: I have many expectations from this course, some good and some bad. My expectations from this course are to help students that are struggling in a subject that I am pretty decent at. I want to keep things focused and productive. I want to make the most of my time and the tutee's time. I hope I can not only teach, but also learn from the fellow students. I know some students will come in and command the answer from me, which I will not give right away unless they show me some sort of effort. I expect some days will be hectic and filled with impatient students, but then there will be some days that I would not want to end. I expect to hear many "ooh's" and "ahh's" from fellow students after they have completed something they were struggling with. I want to see improvement on my writing skills because I know I need to brush off the rust. If I do not understand something I will expect my fellow tutors to help me out, and if they have no solution I know that I can go to any of the instructors and seek answers. I am looking forward to meeting new people, and running into familiar faces around campus.

Strengths: Some of my strengths are that I am a pretty good researcher, if you tell me to research a specific topic I will not let you down. My spelling and grammar is on point, it really bugs me to see misspelled words and grammatical errors. I am a people person, I know it does not really have to do with writing skills, but if I understand what a tutee is trying to say I can help them express it on paper.

Weaknesses: Even though I have key strengths I do have many weaknesses. Some of my weaknesses are that I lack consistency. Like for example, one part of my paper can be out of this world, and another part might hurt the reader's eyes and make them think, "Did he just really write that?" I do not stick with what I start I jump from idea to idea. I always struggle on how to start
