On the contrary, making myself more approachable to jocks who shouldn't be taking these classes is not my concern - and if they need someone to tell them that this class is far beyond their level, I'm content to do so. Actual peers, those that want to learn and have the ability to do so, yet find themselves having trouble, are those that I choose to tutor. You assume that being unconcerned with my likability factor means that I am equally unconcerned with my success - which is false. I will succeed.
