The Role of the Writing Tutor

What role does the tutor play in helping the student learn about her writing?

The role of a tutor is the ultimate multitasker. The tutor gathers information, reviews material, and determines how they can advise the student regarding their work. The tutor and the student work in a collaborative spirit while they both gain a deeper understanding of the writing process. The student leaves with enhanced writing skills and direction on how they plan to finish their project.
