This morning, we spoke briefly about those whom we admire and those who annoy us--what do these quirks reveal about ourselves? How might our own feelings and attitudes effect the ways in which we tutor?
For your last blogging assignment this week, I'd like for you to consider what experiences with diversity that you can bring to your work at OU-C Writing Center. Remember to consider lots of ways people are different: age, race, gender, abilities, geography, class, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

I am used to tutoring people that are not my age group. At home I often help my cousins with their papers. One is is 4th and the other is in 6th grade. They are at different levels and I must realize that when I help them. I have tutored people that are coming back to college after having a family and therefor are much older than I am. I have to realize that they went to school too, but didn't learn the same things I did.
I didn't claim to be perfect. All I can do is help to the best of my ability and offer maybe some tricks or just other little tidbits that help me.
I have a wide variety of experience to draw from. That said I am always open to new ideas and suggestions. I strive to be versatile, not only in my tutoring, but in my everyday life as well.
I am used to working with people with strong accents and have gotten quite good at deducing what they are saying.
