Ideal tutoring session

Their are several things that are important to a successful tutoring session. For example, having eye contact with the student, not being distracted from things that surround you, but most importantly dealing with the student whole structure of their assignment making sure that they have a thesis statement which is very important. Some of my classmates mentions several things that are important or what they realized in there observations that stood out to them. According to Melissa, she mentions in her observation that "a teacher-centered learning is considered a (LOC) Low Order Concern", not talking to the student and solely just talking from a tutor prospective not getting the students opinion or asking them questions pertaining to their assignment. Its good to include the student in the discussion working collaboratively as Melissa mentioned side be side with the tutor.  During my observations I have noticed this taking place as well. Along with Low Order Concerns Michelle mentioned it was a   priority  to one of the students she observed, because it was "what was going to prevent the student from the grade they felt that they deserved". That is understandable when it comes to a situation like that because at times teachers do take off points for spelling and grammar. Though spelling and grammar is not a major issue it's ok to double check it or make sure that its good. Another thing that is important to a successful tutoring session is encouraging students to come back to the writing center. As Cindi mentions in her observation that "visits to the writing center ensures that a successful paper will be produced". The more that a student comes to the writing center and get feedback on their work is the better their paper will. All of these strategies are key when having an ideal tutoring session, looking more on the High Order Concerns rather than the Low Order Concerns and developing the habit of collaborative learning, which includes the student and teacher in discussion of the paper.
