This tutor was assigned to two tutees, this was the first time I've observed a tutor with two tutees. The sessions starts off with the Tutor introducing himself to the students then introduces me and informs them my role as an observer for the session. He asks both of the Tutees "How can I assists you guys today?" Student 1 tells the tutor that he was told to go to the writing center from his professor for a revision of his First Draft Narrative account. Student 2 tells the tutor that she is just at the writing center to work on her grammar. The tutor tells student 2 since student 1 has a draft on hand he will be working with him first. Student 1 begins to explain what is his assignment and shows the tutor his paper and an additional paper with the professor comments of his first draft. Student 1 tells the tutor that English is a second language for him and understanding how grammar works has been a difficult task for him. The tutor reads his assignment out loud, after reading a few sentences the student was already able to see his mistakes he made. After reading the whole paper the tutor tells the student that the paper is just fine in terms of grammar. He later tells the student that he needs to highlight a turning point in his paper. He explains to the student that the turning point should focus on his grandmother since she is the main focus on his paper. He ends his session with tutee 1 with a list of goals he needs to complete at home. Student 1 leaves and the tutor now starts the session with student 2.
The student tells the tutor that she has trouble with verb forms and fragments. The tutor gets different exercises sheets that goes over verb forms and tenses. He starts off by explaining to he student that a verb expresses action or a state of being and tells what the subject of the clause is or does. Then tells her that verbs a constructed from three basic forms known as the principle parts of a verb (Present, Past, and Past Particle). They begin to go through numerous exercises on verb forms until the session was over. The tutor ends the sessions by handing the student more sheets of exercises she can go over in her own time. The student thanks the tutor and gets his name down to request for him the next time she goes to the writing center.
