Third Observation

Going into this tutoring session i can tell it was going to be a good one. The tutor was very friendly, introduce herself and told the tutees to relax and not to worry about anything. She first asked the tutee what they wanted to fix, and if they were revising or not. She had two students with her in this session. She tells the tutee to write for an imaginary audience not for the professor which is a great idea because you should image the reader to not know anything about your topic and to learn something new at the end of the paper. She reads the paper out loud as well to hear mistakes and also asked the tutee what the message is. She lets the tutee talk about the topic so they have a better answering of the paper. With the first student she mainly focus on Higher order and with the second student it was more lower order. The student is an ESL student so she had a more of tough time with grammar and sentence structure. She basically got a grammar lesson while reading the paper out loud. The tutor also told the tutee some advice by picking a tutor and sticking with that tutor so they can learn their style and refer back to previous lessons.
