My first tutoring observation
When he first introduced himself he started off by saying "what can i help you with today" and i think that he should of taken the time to actually introduce himself because its like hes rushing like let me help you and get finished with this session. he did not read over the essay first he just went straight to the professors comments to analyze what the professor was looking for, and what the student needed more help in.Something that I personally did not like was that he was paying attention to LOC'S since the beginning of the session he didn't even ask her what her paper was about. But than he started to help her with organization which is more of a HOC which I was glad to see because i was getting bored of listening to him correcting her sentences. Personally I agree with Lauren I think that I was sitting way to close to them, and I noticed the student begin to feel uncomfortable. She was understanding what he was explaining to her, which is good and he would always ask her if what he suggested made sense to her and i think that's an important question to ask because if a student does not understand what you are saying the session is already a failure. During the middle of the session he THAN asked what was her thesis, something that should have been established in the beginning. His behavior and body language at the beginning he looked helpful and sounded like he wanted to do his best to help her but after a while he began to put his hand on his face, like his head leaning on his hand while the student was asking him some questions and I thought that was rude, and it looked as if he was not interested. He was also yawning constantly that was also rude and didn't even say excuse me, my first experience was not the best but I do hope the second would be better.
