This blog is to be about our experience in the writing center when working with a tutor to finish our essays. I think this is an awesome ideal, but it adds the realization of college life. There is a lot more to keep with then I have realized. I was not able to attend these sessions this time around due to all the little curves that life has thrown me. I can simply talk on my previous experience. Working with the tutors and going to the writing center makes it real. It gives us one on one experience. It goes back to what I have said previously, sometimes students will not shine in front of everybody but, with a one on one experience it helps the student to shine bright. When I took the exam to get into college I scored well in the English section , but I scored a five on my essay part when I needed a six. These one on one tutoring session are exactly what I need to get up to par. It is these real tutoring sessions that insure us to get a passing grade. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for us to get a failing grade. But sometimes it is also easier said then done.
When I work with the tutors I sometimes feel intimated when I first walk in, but the tutors make it easy to feel comfortable. I 'am a loyal creature so when I do go back I will stick to the same tutor. Going to a different tutor each time just might it difficult. Each tutor has a different way of teaching. So by me going to the same tutor I might be able to make better progress.
When you do go in to the writing center to get help you have to let the tutor know exactly what is expected from the assignment by the teacher. Because if you do not they might give you the wrong thing to do. The tutor will then focus on the wrong point of the assignment. This will make your time useless and pointless. So my advice so everybody that goes into the writing center is, to be crystal clear when you go to work with the tutor.
What I wish I could get out of it is actually not having to go so much. I feel that maybe students that need the help the most should be made to go. At the same time as I have previously wrote I understand this is only the teacher trying to help us do our very best. I guess this is to ensure we reach our full potential. This is a great ideal for beginning students
