As a writing tutor, I expect that I will not only be required to be able to fix grammatical and technical errors in students papers, but be able to help them grow as writers. I expect to help enhance the quality of writing in my peers based on what I will learn in this class. I don't necessarily think that the writing center at Hofstra conforms to the steriotype of a"skills lab," but I do think that many students at our school who have not visited the center regard it as such. I have never gone to the writing center for help, but my suitemate has, and she usually came back feeling much better about writing whatever paper she was working on. It is my hope, as a writing tutor, that i will be able to give other students such confidence in their work.
