What Tutoring Writing Isn't

from Tutoring Writing: A Practical Guide for Conferences, by Donald A. McAndrew and Thomas J. Reigstad. Portsmouth: Boynton/Cook, 2001. 160 pages.

The editor-journalist relationship is abusive. Don't model this relationship.
Don't be a therapist. It can be tough if students write about their feelings.
Don't tutor about a "dead" paper, one that the writer is no longer working on.
