On Ron Maxwell's Advice to Tutors

PeerCentered: Ron Maxwell's Advice to Tutors


“Respect the writer.” 
This should be our mantra.
As tutors and peers to our tutees, we know what criticism can do. Tutees must know that they can come to tutors in confidence and be aware that we tutors are not here to tear apart their work; we are truly here to help. It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help in many situations; therefore, we need to respect the fact that students have come to us and have entrusted us to assist them.

Must I practice yoga as I mantra? Can "mantra" be a verb?


Was this a respectful reply? :-)'
