Observation #1
In this observation i was very happy and pleased to see if that there are many tutors that do really help you and are very helpful to students. In this observation there were two students obtaining help. the tutor asked the students what they were here for very nicely. i saw the tutor had her cellphone on her hand and she received a text but put it away and ignored it. The tutor decided to do one page with one student and then another page with another. she read the first page and saw that his thesis was not there but rather at the end of the second paragraph. this is cornered a HOC's (higher order of concern). she helped him create the thesis by asking him what his point was that he wanted to prove in the essay. i noticed that her body language was great and very conftable she sat right next to the student but asked first if it was ok with the student. i relized that the tutor was trying to be very proffessinal sometimes the student was going off topic trying to tell her stories but the tutor very nicely said" great so lets get back to the essay' smiling very sweet. she did not become her therapyiest. i did notice something that the tutor did which i thought was not a very good thing. When she was with the second student she kept preysing him saying" oh wow great idea","amazing struturce". One thing that i thought was kind of confusing which am not sure it falls under the catagory of upsurping ownership is the tutor would tell the students what words to out or replace them with and she would spell them out for the student. i really think that wasnt professional because she could have asked the students other words he thinks would be better to put in. i loved the way she gave them a advice on how to strusture the essay i think it even helped me, she said "try to put the topics in your introduction your going to talk about in the order your going to talk about it". I also nocited the student that the tutor was prasing left sooner and seem to have got all the help he needed, rather then the student who she would ask questions too. The tutor explained terms like verbs, subjective. before leaving she refourced if there is anything else to be fixed or if there anything else the students needs help in thier writing. Overall really great expirences and great tutor i really enjoyed it.
