I am a rewriter. Most of my writing seems to be rewriting my earlier work. To see that academics think that method of constantly fixing is okay by them, well, that makes me feel ooey gooey inside.
I don't agree, really, that there are 3 forms of tutoring and 3 forms of tutoring alone. There are such subtle variations I don't really feel that the two extremes really ever occurs anymore. It seems like all classes involve some amount of discussion or reaction. And really, any teacher who sticks to teacher-centered writing seems to me to be a little behind the times and not at all interested solely in the benefit of the student as much as solely interested in having a job with tenure when no one can fire them, short of a human kiln.
I look forward to getting to a point where I more lean towards student-centered writing, rather than so in the middle, as I'd like to help the student learn to bring out what's inside of themselves more than just what I think they have inside.
