However, I'm excited about the initial meeting because I'm sure they will help me learn even more. I'll be sure to let them know and remind them often that questions and mistakes are completely fine. This is for their benefit and we will work together to accomplish their goals.MSTATENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336351849649887858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141337142416452220.post-25420075193788644682016-07-06T16:15:05.756-07:002016-07-06T16:15:05.756-07:00I am hoping to have some background on my student ...I am hoping to have some background on my student prior to our meeting. <br /><br />I plan to dress casually.

I think this is my biggest weakness, though it has helped in the past to tell students to feel free to tell me if I am speaking too fast.North Hills Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389099502172037071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141337142416452220.post-55073880926852314592012-10-12T12:42:49.406-07:002012-10-12T12:42:49.406-07:00I would imagine I will go into my first session wi...I would imagine I will go into my first session with a participant, with some background info. I would dress business casual..not to dressy, but not sloppy either. I would try very hard to make the participant feel at ease and comfortable. I would hope that the first meeting with the participant (comfortable and friendly)will set the tone for all of our sessions.

I hope that everything goes well, my parents always say I'm funny so hopefully I can use some humor! Jeans and a cute top are always the best way to go, not to formal, not too casual. If I was being tutored I would not want to feel as if I was under-dressed. I mean, hey, it's just tutoring!
