Occasionally, our clients require a higher level of tutoring.
Some students write about highly personal and sensitive issues.
Tutors often find themselves wearing many hats, such as the Expert Writer, the Instructor, the Coach, and the Counselor. The role of Counselor has presented some of the greatest challenges as well as some of the greatest rewards for me as a tutor. I have tutored students whose papers discussed suicide attempts, traumatic childhood experiences, anorexia, abuse, rape, the death of an intimate. Tutoring in these situations requires a high degree of sensitivity and professionalism. The writing problems a tutor encounters with such clients vary.
