In tutoring there are different cases to be seen. It
could be plagrism, homework help, or even trying to write a paper with nothing.
Working with these cases it’s important that the tutor keep a calm, relaxed, professional
environment, so the session could be successful. Most times, when a session
doesn’t go so well, it’s not always the tutee’s fault. There tutor can be
texting, giving off a disinterested attitude or judging the writer. To me the worst
thing the tutor can do is, tell the answers and not have the student fully
understand the issue. In one of the videos we saw this week, there was a
student who said she had other things to do, and she couldn’t be bothered to
work on the problem (it was a math class), and she kept asking him for the
answers to the problems. He was very persistent in saying no and he stuck to his ground. Working to better tutor not only helps you to polish your craft, but it will help the writers that will come along, polish theirs.
