Alright so this time around the tutoring session I observed actually focused on HOC's. I was sp excited to finally see how a tutor deals with fixing a students thesis and structure. She started with a very friendly greeting and had a lot of patience while the student was trying to find his assignment. She read the professors comments which by the way pretty much stated that he wanted the student to re-do his entire paper.
She started with having a discussion with the student about the assignment. She asked what the literature was about and what he thought the professor wanted him to do. She then began to make an outline based on the professors and the students response. I will say that this session was more teacher-centered because those were the only questions she asked about and then she took over the session.
She kept a fair distance from the student. She did not lean in like the other two tutors I had observed prior to this one. She was very authoritative but it ended up working out for the student. He left feeling a lot better about the paper since she had an outline for him and since she had several notes for him. I liked that she broke down all of the professors comments as well as her own so that the student understood.
She ended the session by focusing on how he could integrate the literature into his paper. Overall it was a great tutoring session. :)
