How can students benefit from a tutoring session?听听

What kinds of work can students bring to the tutoring session?聽
Students bring in a variety of writing projects, from term papers to doctoral dissertations to personal statements for job applications.听听听听
How do you approach each session?听听
As a tutor, I can coach them closely through the details of writing and address their personal needs at a level of specificity that would be difficult to achieve in a larger classroom setting. I try to explain things in ways that enable students to improve their writing in concrete, actionable ways that have served me well in my own work.听听听听

It's exciting to watch them find the best means to express their specialized knowledge with clarity and persuasiveness.听听
