Observation #4, Tutoring Session 4, The Last Observation....


This is the last hour of tutoring observation, I feel that I had gain a lot of experience observing all these tutors and tutees, I have my positive and negative observations which will help me to make decisions on my own tutoring session.

This time I observed a student that in currently taking ENG 102, which is a “Writing Though Literature Class” the title of her paper is “Immigrants to the USA” and the paper that they are working on is a first draft already graded. The tutor goes over the paper and correct the grammar errors that the student had has she reads the essay. The tutor realized that the problem the student has is that she needs to re-write the thesis all over, though talking is that the tutor made the student write the new thesis and correct her sometimes “You do not want to use WHAT you want to use WHICH” or “You want to use EXPLAIN”. This session was short since the tutee came late to the writing center but what I liked the most is that the tutor explained everything to the tutee by examples that make the student think and explain in her own works the understanding of the topic.
