Muriel Harris's article, "Talk to Me: Engaging Reluctant Writers," shows some reasons why students might not want to actively participate in a tutorial session. Students may be overwhelmed with other schoolwork and personal problems (family or financial). Students may think that they are not talented writers and may be shyly to speak with a tutor. The student may think his/her writing is strong but regardless the student may has been forced by a professor to attend a tutorial. Regardless of which individual case the student might has, the tutor must be understanding and willing to help the writer connect with the process of the tutorial and her own writing.
