164 no mo no less

Despite the fact that tutors have eyes, we do not realize we have crossed that line until it is too late. It does not help that the line is constantly moving every time you enter a new session either. But as tutors, we can not constantly worry about the mistakes we may make. We must focus on helping the student.
However, this is easier said than done. I find myself constantly balancing my words in order to walk that thin line. Like everything in the universe, you must have balance; and for every perfect tutoring session, there are the disastrous sessions. Tutors must let go of their own concerns of helping the student too much and focus on the student. Do not worry about crossing the line, worry about crossing it too often. Just remember to always carry your eraser and wipe away that metaphorical line.
