The relationship between audience and community is similar in that the audience (most likely, professors) will also provide constructive criticism and feedback. The goal of the tutor is to help the student shape his or her writing to meet the standards of their professor, eliminating the need for such feedback. And, the student should also meet the standards of and positively reflect the community he or she is a part of. Meaning in getting their message across they must also uphold integrity and decency.

Though a student-teacher dynamic will inevitably exist, both the pupil and the tutor are both part of a community, specifically, the FSU student body. On such a diverse campus, this one common factor may be the only common factor between the two and therefore holds a significant role in their dynamic. The student seeking help may initially feel discouraged or uncomfortable sharing ideas, so helping them feel like they are a welcome member of this community will help to generate the flow of ideas and increase their motivation. FSU's community of students not only scholarly but amongst peers, I've often found encouragement along the way. Additionally, both tutor and student are part of a larger community that embodies writers who want to improve their work. All successful writers began at this same place. Helping them to feel like they are a part of this community of writers is equally important because if they can visualize the potential that their writing or particular piece of writing possesses they will be able to get it on paper.
