Amy Haught wrote this article about her experience as a writing tutor. She explains how she was a painfully shy girl that was nervous about becoming a tutor and the potential of working with difficult students. Through writing about her experience as a shy tutor, she aims to encourage other people to become tutors and overcome their shyness.
In the end of her tutoring semester, she expressed how it was one of the best jobs that she had ever had. She described that her shyness level had significantly decreased since she was forced to interact with people that she didn't know on a daily basis.
I highly recommend reading this article if your an introvert. It's pretty inspiring. I chose it because of how unique the topic seemed but after reading it, I'm sure there are a lot of people it might apply to - especially students who might be interested in an internship as a writing tutor.
