What suggestions would you have for a tutor to switch from directive to non-directive methods? This video is really helpful!

Samantha Kutner sorry this is so late! I think the best thing to do is to read it thoroughly and jot down "how" and "why" questions as you go. Then ask these to your student. Try to follow-up with additional questions until they provide satisfactory answers. Often, these answers can go directly in the paper. Hope this helps!

There are lots of positive moments in this video, but my issue is that the tutor does way too much of the talking.

conferences at our center run just 25 minutes. If there were more time, most experienced tutors WOULD employ a lot more Socratic questioning, eliciting, etc. It is a constant balance between prompting and instructing

:( My college teacher told me to go to the writing center for a rough draft of an essay. I thought it was okay and did not need to get help on it.
