Here are a few resources that may lend a hand to new writing tutors:
1. Wow! The following is a great resource for both experienced and novice tutors. It includes videos with scenario notes. On the left are various profiles; each depicts a typical "tough tutorial." The resource is from the University of Richmond.

2. From The Writing Center at Winona State University, this brief chapter from A Guide for Writing Center Tutors is entitled "Self Reflective Tutoring: Practices and Concerns." It includes information regarding conferencing with students and assessing one's tutoring. It also provides a model tutoring session, as well as "some variations on the model."

3. This resource comes from Oakland University Writing Department. The series includes videos that depict realistic peer tutoring scenarios. Some of the topics that I browsed include students with disabilities, "texting" tutees, plagiarism, "irate" tutees, tutees who are English language learners, and one entitled "No, You Can't Drop Off Your Paper!" They're somewhat humorous, but also provide insight into tutoring.
These videos may all be found by going to www.youtube.com and typing in "Oakland University Writing Center Video Scenario."
HAPPY TUTORING! :)

This is a straight forward video however, the series it is attached to does repeat a lot of the same ideas we try to get across.

Lenses in which to get the writer on some kind of track. A decent place to start after the idea is established.
