Excellent resource

As a tutor at a university Writing Center, I have found this book very useful. The sample tutoring sessions are very realistic and can teach new tutors to gently and skillfully direct a student to come up with his or her own answers. Also useful are the brainstorming and organizing techniques. A person with no teaching or tutoring experience can pick up this book and learn how to tutor effectively.
Helpful!

I had to read this book for a class entitled "Teaching Writing." It contains a lot of useful information on tutoring-I applied some of the principles to the students I tutored, and our sessions became much better! I highly recommend it!
