Re: remedies for weariness

Lisa,

I couldn't do this job if I had to tutor 4 hours straight every day.  The 
tutors do the tutoring.  I tutor if one of them gets sick or misses an 
appointment.  I also tutor special students whom faculty have asked me 
specifically to see.  After a session or two, those students can also 
work with the tutors.  

My office is in one corner of our center, so I'm very 
accessible to tutors or students.  That means I answer lots of passing 
questions about papers, computers, or whatever.  But I have enough to do 
with the administration and teaching (I teach one-third time in the 
English department) without set on-going tutoring appointments.

I hope you can readjust your work load.  Do you have funds to hire one 
more tutor to take your tutoring load?  You may have to negotiate for the 
money.
