From the Guy in the Chair
The “Guy in the Chair” letter
Dr. Cooper shares his approach to tutoring: approachable, friendly support that helps students build reading and writing skills without facing it alone.
The “Guy in the Chair” letter began as a letter for his college English classes. This version is adapted for tutoring. It draws on the superhero stories he enjoys to explain a simple idea: students do the work, but they don’t have to face the challenge alone.
Whether you’re a young learner, a college student, or an adult working on your writing, start with the letter below. To talk about your own reading or writing goals, contact Dr. Cooper.
