~ My Do's and Don'ts ~

~ Do's ~

• A tutor should be calmed and when also make the his or her tutee calmed when they are struggling in their writing.

• Tutor should be able to engage with his or her tutee about the writing assignment only.

• Tutor should help the student to point out the guidelines they need to work on. For example:- reading the directions for the assignment that was introduced in the classroom.

• When student are struggling to write, one strategy that might be helpful is to just free write. By this approach, students will feel comfortable and be able to concentrate.

~ Don't ~

• Do not frustrate the tutee by yelling or making them feel dumb.

• Both the tutor and the tutee should not use their cell phones.

• Writing center is not a place to have fun or be relaxed. Moreover, it is not a therapy session. It is time to think and write about the assignment which was presented in the classroom.
