Another Writing Center Visit

At my last writing center visit, I was successfully able to watch a session take place. An older woman was coming in to work on a paper she was writing for the School for Continuing Studies. She was confident in her content but wanted help with her formatting of the APA guidelines. The tutor helped her with that by showing her the writer's web and explaining it to her. Since that didn't take much time, he read over her paper. He found a few places, in which she could improve something, but for the most part it was a very developed essay. Having a student being an older woman who was confident in her piece would be very intimidating as a tutor. At the end of the day though, she's coming to the writing center because she feels the tutor can help her with something, so I think as a tutor we should treat her as any student and try to help her to the best of our abilities.
