Strengths and how I'm good at it

I can communicate well with others, and believe that my ability to relate to individuals is something that has enabled me to informally tutor thus far, and will continue to aid me in my formal tutoring. I feel that I can manipulate prose to my liking, and have a good sense of organization and creativity-a blend that I feel is vital to really "good" writing. I feel that one of my most pertinent strengths is the ability to relate to the writer in his/her context. It would be easy to enhance the student as a writer according to my standards. Unfortunately, this is not the key to the writing center, and would ultimately prove futile as the student has neither the background nor the ability to be in the place that I am. It is easy for me to discuss technical matters in a manner that students can understand. If I were to engage in very deep-seated grammatical talk with my students, it would intimidate them (not to mention the simple fact that they could very well walk away from the tutorial worse off than they were in the beginning). I have the ability to actively engage the student in the writing session, making it more bearable for me and more helpful for them. Je pense que l'étudiant est la personne la plus importante, et pour cette raison je les aide à comprendre mieux les processus de l'écriture. I will continue to grow as a writing tutor and a writer, and feel that this growth will only serve to better my interaction with the students and the overall outcome of the tutorials.
