Tutor 2

This week, me and Lisa tutored again! This time, the girl needed help with her overall paper because it was a "re-do" and her teacher said she should come to the writing center to get help. We read over her assignment sheet and we realized that some things in her paper didn't even make sense. We helped her with the "silly" mistakes, like the typos, by letting her read it out loud and she knew that some things didn't make sense so she fixed it on her own! Lisa and I tutor at the same time. One of us doesn't just sit back and "observe" like we were told to, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing! The tutee then gets twice the advice and help!!! I think me and her are a good team and this past session went well, even thought the tutee could only stay for 20 minutes. We encouraged her to come back and she wanted to know if she could get us again to tutor her! It made me smile.
So far, I think I'm doing pretty well with the whole tutoring thing and I think I'm doing well in class overall...HOPEFULLY!!!
