That depends on where you are in the process.  If you’ve got an assignment but haven’t yet started writing, you and your tutor will probably begin planning: talking about what the assignment requires, for example, and how you might approach it.  You might work with the tutor to brainstorm, outline, or write a thesis. 

If you’ve brought a draft, we’ll probably ask you to read aloud, stopping whenever you or your tutor has a question or comment.  During these sessions, you and your tutor may focus on “global” issues such as organization and thesis, or you might focus on sentence-level issues.  You might do a little of both.

Whatever you and your tutor do, be prepared to play an active role!
