Becoming a tutor

I am still very nervous to become a tutor. I don't know if I am capable of doing it effectively enough to help these students pass the test they have to take at the end of the semester. As of right now, I am not doing too well in this class so I imagine I won't even have the opportunity to tutor in the first place. In any case, I think tutoring is going to help me a lot in my teaching abilities. I want to teach elementary students as well as college students and I think this will help me get used to what it is like dealing with college level students. I am taking another class this semester which requires me to do an internship at an elementary school to get experience. So, overall I think this whole semester is going to give me more insight into the world of teaching and whether or not I'm actually going to be good at it. I think that once I observe some of the students I might feel a little more comfortable with it and get a better understanding of what's required of me exactly. My worst thoughts are that I won't be able to make a difference for any of these kids which is my main goal as a teacher. I want to be that teacher that no one forgets and always remembers as "that teacher who changed my life," as corny as that may sound. I wouldn't want to be even partially responsible for one of the students failing that test is all I'm really saying here. I'm a very shy person and I think that's what's also getting me nervous about this because I'm scared I'm going to freeze up and not know what to say even though I may actually know what I'm doing. I believe myself to be a pretty decent writer, but definitely not good enough to help someone else as a writer. And now that I write that, I realize this post is all over the place with thoughts so I guess I should point out the fact that I'm writing as everything comes into my head in case that wasn't obvious.
