Abstract
Emotions impact all aspects of tutoring work, including sessions with clients, tutor responsibilities, and tutoring philosophies. Even though emotions can make tutoring feel difficult, mindfulness strategies can be taught to tutors so they feel equipped to manage clients’ and their own emotions. While plenty of research on mindfulness theories exist, few studies integrate mindfulness into tutor training and examine the impact of mindfulness on tutoring. I sought to integrate emotional mindfulness practices into the UNC Charlotte Writing Resources Center (WRC) as both a guide for other writing centers to integrate this kind of training and to provide resources to my fellow tutors in the writing center.
