What are you most nervous about with regard to tutoring?

The thing I'm continually most anxious about is meeting the vibe of the student, and having enough energy and emotional capital to stay upbeat and hopeful, as well as confident. Another way to put it would be to say that the only thing I'm nervous about is being nervous! But I just want to vibe and have a good time. I want to feel like I'm in my element and for students to feel equally at ease.

The only other thing that I am concerned about is my own competence with the language. It's been so far so good, session-wise, yes...but I want to get to the next level of knowing what it is that I know--then know more--and also be perfectly able to explain it. Just gotta master the rules of English. That will make me feel good and it will also go a long way in gaining me peace of mind and confidence in the tutoring session.
