Observation 3

  

 

At the writing center this afternoon, the tutor was rather quite good. She remembered each topic she talked about with both of the students she was tutoring. What was fascination to me is that she not only remember what the topic of there paper was she has a lot of information to give to each of them. She was very engaging and asked both of them questions to see if they had an idea of what they wanted to discuss in their paper.

 

 

There was some silence during the review of the papers, but none to where it was agonizingly dreadful. This woman put a lot of thought into what she would say to each of them and she didn't come off in a harsh manner at all. They both seemed to have a lot to talk about and she complemented both of the students for making an effort in their assignment.

 

She worked with each of the student and shared the hour equally not leaving one to figure out what they needed to do if there was no understanding of it. I felt like while sitting there with them during this session the problem between both students was pretty much the same they both had difficulty with language and present and past tense, but none to where they didn't understand what they needed to do.  I also like the way she broke down the list of requirements instructed by the professor for the paper.

 

One student had some trouble with following the directions of the paper and she explained to him in debt exactly what his professor was looking for which mad it a bit easier for him and the other student as well. With this being said I felt that she was very forthcoming as a tutor and spoke professionally to the both of them to where she even forgot that I was watching.

 

I as a student or a tutor would definitely engage my student just as she did because if there was any tension in the between anyone at the table it quickly fade when she opened her mouth and began her session.. If I ever had any doubt and the lack of confidence that I couldn't tutor someone else on a piece of writing. At this session it faded and now I am even more excited about it than in the beginning.
