| Abstract | This article presents findings from a study of a U.K. university writing centre regarding understandings of tutor roles, involving 33 Chinese international students, 11 writing tutors, and the centre director. The research used interviews and audio-recorded consultations as data to analyze and explore participants' beliefs and understandings. The most common roles associated with tutors were proofreader, coach, commentator, counsellor, ally, and teacher. Mismatches were found in understandings of the proofreader role and counsellor role when comparing students' views, tutors' views, and the writing centre policy. Policy recommendations are made in light of the findings regarding how writing centres frame the tutor's role and the function of writing consultations, in terms of (1) interrogating traditional conceptualizations of tutor role, (2) disseminating the centre's aims to the student population and to the wider university, (3) expanding the centre's activity across the university, and (4) strengthening tutor training and development.
