tutoring

Today I went to the writing center to observe a session. The girl that came in had an anthropology paper she had to write. The girl was concerned with the flow of the paper and asked the tutor to go over it with her. After the tutor introduced herself they got started on the paper. Now while the tutor was reading the paper she keep making changes for the girl and writing in revisions. I remember being told not to do that. I think with this particular tutoring session I had examples of what not to do rather than how to do a session. The tutor was very polite and helpful. I also noticed the tutee was very shy and when asked questions she would wait to see what the tutor told her were correct. The only thing that was uncomfortable was the temperature in the writing center I do find it hard to concentrate. All in all I learned several things today.

You want to be careful to not write on the student's paper--that's right.
