Yes, I often thought of this as a potential explanation before, but in this experience the students definitely wanted to learn. It was basically an elective and they’re all seniors already on track to graduate, so they were under no pressure. They just wanted to learn! So in this case it wasn’t soul crushing because the students weren’t properly motivated, they were absolutely motivated, and so was I. In fact, I think it wasn’t soul-crushing for the students. But it was still a little soul-crushing for me!
You absolutely should try tutoring! I’m sure you could find some students who are a good match and who would really appreciate it! :)
