During the observation of my second CIES class, I noticed how much students relay on the teachers for energy. I am not going to lie last week I was exhausted. It was finals week, I had to pack my house and tutor. So when I went out to tutor Soava and Jurie I wasn't too prepared or really excited to do so. When I got there they noticed my lack of energy right away. They seemed to be anxious and didn't really pay attention. And I noticed that being prepared with a lesson plan isn't enough. As corny as this may sound you have to be prepared mentality too. It is draining trying to get someone interested in English, so if you're not at 100% it's hard.
I agree. You do need to keep up your energy and leave your worries at the door when your trying to tutor/teach.
