Teacher Testimonials

"All of my students have reported that the tutors are friendly and easy to work with. They also have all commented that the come away from the tutoring sessions with good ideas about how to revise their work.

One student said he thought the tutor would tell him how to fix is work, so he was surprised when the tutor pushed him to find improvements for his writing on his own.

Personally, I have been very impressed by the thoughtful reflections the tutors are writing about their sessions. It's obvious that they take their jobs seriously and are committed to helping their peers improve."

"I have been very impressed with the depth of feedback given to my students. Students who have used the writing center are encouraged to think about the writing process and about audience, and the level of feedback and subsequent reporting of feedback to teacher have been very impressive. The writing products of students who have visited the writing center show much clarity, depth, and/or improvement (if a revision)."

"The writing center was a revelation for my students! After one visit, several became regulars, and their writing has drastically improved with the one on one attention any time they need it."

​"It is very helpful to students to get feedback from their peers and to have another avenue to develop their thinking and writing. Having students mentor one another is very affirming and supports academic and personal growth. The students' responses are very positive and they enjoy the time and attention. Keep it going, and get more tutors and lunch periods!"
