Essay #3: Essay Reflecting on and Analyzing Tutoring Experiences

Tutoring Experience Analysis/Reflection Essay Models and Rubric

(Be sure to take notes after each tutoring session so that you have your fresh thoughts to refer back to as you write this essay.)

Your task:  Write an essay which describes and critically analyzes your tutoring experiences this term. Use the readings from this term as tools to reflect on your experiences. What worked? What didn't work? Why or why not? Reflect on all of your tutoring experiences (being tutored, observing tutors, and tutoring face-to-face). Any events stand out? Why?

In your essay, you are expected to use the readings from the course (Clark and St. Martin authors such as Brooks, Lusford, etc.) to analyze and explain your insights and points.

Refer to and quote the readings at least 6 times as you reflect on tutoring. Use MLA documentation style when working with sources. In sum, find key quotations to illuminate and analyze your experiences.

After reflecting on your tutoring experiences, reflect on your growth as a tutor in general. Below are some questions and topics to get your thinking started (not meant to be a list that you write about in order):

How would you describe your views of tutoring and yourself as a tutor/writer "before" the course?

How would you describe your views of tutoring and yourself as a tutor/writer"after" the course?
