In my third observation of tutoring the tutor body language was strong. She seem to take interest in the students work. Student just wanted to make sure her paper was well written.Tutor tells one of the tutee to reread her essay while she looks over the other student essay. But at that moment the tutor does a late response. She spent to much time on one student.Tutor gives feed back on the paper first student paper. Good feed back and allows the student to feel like she did good. The tutor also asked question after reading the paper. After that tutor reviews the structure of each paragraph. I then realize that she focus on high order concerns. The student then asked if the tutor may correct her grammar. Tutor explains that she is not allow to focus on grammar. She also explains to the student that tutors are trying to make tutees become better writes by focusing on the high concerns.
While she is spending time with this student the other student is on her phone. Due to the fact that the tutor was spending more time with the other student.The tutor then realize she was taking up to much time with this one student and tells the other she hasn't forgot about her. The tutor Then takes care of the other tutee. She also focus on high order concerns such as thesis standby, word choice, focus on fragments. Gives student background knowledge. And reminds the student that she must stay on topic through out the paper. She always explains that she can use a strangely such as brainstorming to help her. I notice the student wanted her to write something down on the paper and the tutor told her she is not allowed to mark anyone's paper. Body language is very strong so was tone in her voice. But again the late respond to the other student cause her to leave. She claimed that she had a class.
