Observation One Assignment

After observing my first tutoring session, I've noticed a lot of strategies that I've read about. The tutor used clarity in her tone and made sure the writer understood everything she was being advised. What I didn't expect was for how prepared and organized the writer came in. Not only did she have the assignment sheet, she had her notes to provide the tutor with in case they wanted a brief understanding of what the text was about. Luckily for the writer, the tutor understood the reading that was assigned and was able to advise the writer "better than what I expected" in her exact quote. What was interesting is the writer explained that she had not written an essay in over five years so its difficult for her to get an understanding. As a result to what the tutor reviewed; the writer was pretty good for ENG 101 and the lack of current experience she had. The tutor was very descriptive yet allowed the writer to create her own version in her very own words.
