My writing center philosophy:

My writing center philosophy is that the tutor should be willing and able to help and assist the student in the best way possible. The student should be willing and able to learn. Most importantly, the student should be focused and prepared to be tutored. Alot of students go to a writing center because a teacher forces them to or because it is a class requirement, a student should go to a writing center because they want to, or they realize that they have to.
A tutor should be trained in tutoring and able to assist the student in their needs. The tutor has to be able to listen to the student, so patience is very important. A tutor should also be trained with a lot of different individuals, such as disabled, ESL, or someone of a different education background. It is important that the tutor recognizes the education level of the student by asking the right questions that are not too difficult for the student, or expecting too much from the student.
The writing director should be able to guide the tutors and answer their question. Also, to handle difficult situations or difficult students.
