Peer...Coaching?

At my school, we have a place called "The Study Center". It is a place where students come if they are not doing well in school in order for some extra help. Now, I go there every Thursday, not to receive help, but to give it. It can be akward at times, because I am helping people my age study. I feel stupid because I know almost nothing more than they do, I just know how to take tests. I don't really like coaching them because I feel like they think I am superior to them, when we both know that I am not. I suppose they understand how I feel, and they feel the same way. But if they would just ask for help, it would be so much less akward. As in, we could both concentrate on the work instead of concentrating on how akward it is. As it is, we stare at each other the entire period, and it is my duty to ask if they have any work to do. I feel like the mother asking her child, "What do you have to work on today?". Just add on sweetie and there you have it. I guess we make it akward my thinking that it is. Oh well, this is making my brain hurt. I suppose I should just go study history.
