Well. The tuition didn't go as well as planned. When the reports came out, I learned that the students I helped write Lab reports got and E and an F. I don't understand how. Their teacher is Mr. Harry, so maybe if I go talk to him before or after the mid-term break, then I can understand how they got such low grades and what he wants in the future. I am so upset with myself, even though one of the kids I am close to said that I shouldn't blame myself, I do. I was the one that was their fallback plan, to help them get those grades that they wanted and aimed for. Being a teacher and a tutor are two totally different things. I think that the main reason I feel this is because with a teacher, you give the students the opportunity to learn on their own, but if they don't then it's not really your problem if they fail because it was their fault. But with a tutor, then it is different because you are the help that the students need and want because they don't know how to study on their own or need extra explanation on concepts learned in class. The students of a tutor want to learn, but if the tutor isn't good, then the kids fail and the children don't know how to get their grades up. I'm not a proper tutor I know, and what I am doing is not professional tutoring, just peer tutoring. But I still feel that because it is a problem to get tutors into boarding, we take that role on. I also failed my biology test, so right now I feel really lousy at Biology. I know I can make up for MY test scores and things, but with the other kids, I don't know how to make up for it. I think I lost one of my students. Hopefully I can continue with the annoying boy and the other boy I am close to.
