The course website for WRI3020 with Dr. Erin Andersen
I completed my solo tutoring session during the second-to-last week of the semester, just hours before I helped out with Late Nite Writes. Princess observed my session, and when I arrived at the Writing Collaboratory we discussed tutoring for a few minutes and reviewed the appointment form, so I knew what to expect. When the […]
My co-tutoring session occurred the week before the end of the semester, at Late Nite Writes. All of the tutors were very busy: there was no shortage of tutees that wanted assistance with their writing. My tutee, an Equine Studies major, arrived at ten o’clock, and we discussed her paper for over an hour. I’m […]
I was quite anxious during my first tutoring observation session on March 5th, right before Writing Tutor Training. I was surprised when I arrived at the Writing Collaboratory: the appointment was scheduled for 3:15, but the tutee came earlier than expected – closer to 3:00! When I walked in around 3:10, Amanda, the tutor, was […]
I was quite excited about Late Nite Writes when Dr. Andersen introduced me to the idea one day in class. The idea of setting up shop in the library with the tutors of the Collab and working on my writing assignments as well as helping others with theirs greatly appealed to me. Sitting at home […]
[spotifyplaybutton play=”https://open.spotify.com/album/3M6KX4jy8zOQOskYbUfODq”/] L’Artiste I’ve come to the point where I recognize that tutoring is like an art—it is something that becomes perfected through practice and time. While my previous session was solo as well, this session was more natural than the last and I had felt more comfortable about the direction of the session. This […]
For my co-tutoring session with Princess, we worked together to determine the best way to run this session. We came to the conclusion together that it would be too much to do it all once, so Princess worked with the tutee for the first half and then I took over for the second. While I […]
PRE-SESSION With the school year coming to an end, I knew that I needed to complete my co-tutoring session as soon as I could. I wasn’t sure whether I was actually ready at the time that I had decided to schedule it, but I knew that I was never going to feel like I was […]
I was more relaxed entering the Writing Collab to observe another tutoring session than I had been the first time. This time, I had a better idea of what to expect. I was familiar with the physical area of the Writing Collab, with its comfy couches and brewing coffee pot. However, I had also grown […]
In my first tutoring session I observed Marissa, a lovely student at Centenary University who answered any questions I had and made me feel quite comfortable in the Writing Collab. When tutoring, Marissa used many techniques I immediately recognized from my time in class learning about the best ways to approach tutoring. For me, this […]
[spotifyplaybutton play=”https://open.spotify.com/album/5Jkd47JEaCU1g4DcGBnHm3″/] 1..2..3..START! Tick-tock, tick-tock. As the clock struck 1:15 pm, the time of the tutor’s appointment, the tutee came rushing in. The tutor greeted the student and introduced me to them as well. I took a seat at the next table over while the tutor sat next to the student, closing the gap between […]
