Tutoring Philosophy

My philosophy of tutoring focuses on flexibility, positivity, and non-judgment. As a social work professor said to me once, "language is power," and thus, helping consult one's writing can be an act of empowerment. My goal as a tutor is not to act as an 'authority' and tell clients what's 'wrong' with their writing, but to act as a guide, helping clients nurture and develop the strengths that are already there. I want to help clients empower themselves within their own voice, and guide their ability to use it for effective communication.
