Writing Techniques

You know, just hearing someone speak about being a tutor sounds really hard, but actually its not. I have sat in on quite a few sessions and they were all smooth sailing. That’s because every student was willing to learn and answer the main questions to get them started on their thesis statement. I realize that the main goal for a tutor is to prepare a student to become a better writer. Once teach people to brainstorm and learn the proper techniques of writing and critiquing a paper, then they will learn the importance of writing. Once students focus on their thesis statement, then they realize that their main focus or goal is to catch the reader’s eye and make them feel like their paper is very interesting and contains some juicy facts or ideas. The most interesting part of tutoring sessions is knowing that students have a general idea of what they’re working on, but just not knowing how to organize or critique their papers the proper way. The greatest idea is knowing that every student always leave with knowing and understanding the facts of the writing process and being able to identify or detect the problems or issues in the paper.
