In this article by Melinda Nutt, she explores her development as a tutor in terms of using a directed approach versus a nondirected approach. She references Muriel Harris' book, Teaching One-to-One: The Writing Conference, which describes that "in the directed approach, the tutor assumes that the tutee has come for concrete help and advice, and offers specific remedies. In the nondirected approach, the tutor assumes “that most people can help themselves if they are freed from emotional obstacles such as fear of criticism and fear of failure” (70)."
Nutt realized that by using the nondirected method of tutoring, she could better help students grow toward independence while remaining avoiding the role of a "grammar cop" (focusing mostly on lower order concerns).
