BRUFFEE
Focuses his aspect of peer tutoring on it being a type of collaborative learning. Through later research, Bruffee and his team have come to another realization, peer tutoring and collaborative learning joined both have the potential to question or dispute the theories of the classroom strategies of learning. Peer tutoring has enough power to overcome a student’s fear or open up their ideas of writing. It’s all in the hands of conversation, though and knowledge which forms the skeletal structure of the peer tutoring center.
BROOKS
States that we must give the writer (the student) authority of their own paper, you (the tutor) are only there to mentor and tutor them. Guide them along the right track, without literally editing their paper, while the student is sitting next to you, oblivious to what you are doing. The tutor should be taking on a secondary role that allows the student to take the primary role, having full responsibility, ownership, and understanding of their paper. A great tip for tutors that I have noticed in my own practice of being tutored was the body language. As brooks states the tutor "should be , in a sense, an outsider, looking over her shoulder while she works on her paper".(221) This should be practiced at all times, because something as simple as body language could give off the right amount of signals of ownership.
