Writing Center Pedagogy

My writing center pedagogy focuses on providing flexible, inclusive, and student-centered support that recognizes and accommodates the diverse needs of all learners. I believe that writing center sessions should be interactive and individualized, offering personalized guidance rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Tutors should be equipped with strategies to work with various learning styles and be prepared to use multimodal tools and assistive technologies to enhance accessibility, like dyslexia-friendly fonts and feedback delivered through Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

I view students, including those with disabilities, as assets, not problems. By adopting a social model of disability, I focus on removing societal barriers rather than addressing perceived deficits. My goal as a tutor is to empower students, helping them build confidence and become better, more independent writers. I emphasize collaboration, guiding students through the writing process and encouraging them to identify their strengths and improve on their weaknesses. Through respect, empathy, and practical strategies, I aim to create an environment where all students feel seen, heard, and supported.
