<p>The first semester of sophomore year I tutored a junior high student who needed a LOT of help. We met often and while it was an extremely rewarding experience, it was also very demanding and my grades suffered a little. Nothing too major but second semester when I didn’t take a student to tutor my GPA was significantly higher. I’m wondering if its worth jeopardizing my grades again junior year? I really enjoyed helping the kid though.</p>
<p>i dont get why it hurt you. just budget your time…give the kid a free period each day and let that be that. dont let it get in the way of your own work…</p>
<p>Junior year is the most important. If you really like tutoring him, then so be it.</p>
<p>It really depends on how much your GPA suffered. If an A went to a B, no worries, keep tutoring him since you really love it. However, if you went down like a whole grade point, I would advise you to stop and focus on your academics first.</p>
