Review
I've been at the Writing Center since May of 2007. I take pride in
knowing that our approach to tutoring is about as progressive as it
can get. We try our best to avoid stereotypical ways of working
with our students (ex: being an editing service). I've avoided the
word "teaching" altogether in my description because, strangely
enough, that's not what we're doing. That would imply that there's
some kind of "ideal" writing we're all trying to achieve (something
we try to challenge at the WC every single day).
Underneath all the anxiety, confusion, or plain dislike we all
might feel about writing are people with unique, meaningful
perspectives. I see my job as simply navigating students through
their own thoughts in a way everyone can understand and, most
importantly, fully appreciate.
