If there were one thing I would need to know. . .

I would need to know more about the successes and failures of actual writing center sessions. Simply put, I need to gain experience. Since experience is not a body of knowledge, I would need to gain it vicariously through those who have it. I would need to know how and why the best tutoring sessions have been profitable for the writer and the tutor. I want to be able to see actual sessions and hear from the participants. Without considering grammar, rhetoric, tutoring theory, etc., experience seems to be the best teacher.
