Laurier Tutors Online: Summer jobs
http://onlinetutordiaries.blogspot.com/2008/04/summer-jobs.html
Monday, April 21, 2008. I'm curious; what's everyone doing for the summer? Are you staying in Waterloo, or are you going elsewhere? Have you got a job yet, or is that something you're still looking for? Is there anything awesome that you're going to do over the summer? Being at the writing centre has really made me want to focus on going into the world of publishing, so I'm currently researching that. How about everyone else? Monday, April 21, 2008. My future is completely open-ended.which is simulta...

Laurier Tutors Online: February 2009
http://onlinetutordiaries.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Strategies for addressing problems with assignment questions. What do you do when you run into assignmnet questions that you just can't figure out? After sessions like this, I typically walk away with concerns about the usefulness of my suggestions and what the student will say to the instructor about what I might have accidentally verbalized about the horrifying assignment question. How do we avoid critiquing the assignment or questioning its usefulness?

Laurier Tutors Online: August 2008
http://onlinetutordiaries.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2008. What are/were your initial anxieties about tutoring? When I began as an undergraduate tutor at the Writing Centre in my third year at Laurier, my biggest anxiety was being taken seriously as an authority by my peers. I was all too aware that I still looked like I belonged in high school, and I feared that students, especially upper-year students, would either doubt my advice or take an oppositional approach to the conversation as a result. I encounter a shocked "You're so young!

Laurier Tutors Online: October 2008
http://onlinetutordiaries.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 6, 2008. It should be of no surprise to anyone who's been on the Laurier campus for the past couple of weeks that I'm coming down with a cold, since it seems to be making the rounds early this year. I've had a sore throat all weekend, which decided to upgrade to a hacking cough right in the middle of a drop-in session with the last student of the night tonight. Have any of you had instances where something has interrupted your session? What was it, and how did you deal with it?
