2nd tutoring session!

 I feel like my second tutoring session overall was a success. I was very pleased with the outcome of this session , because I believe that the tutee and I were both prepared. I was chosen to help one student with her paper on her views and ideas on Charter Schools. I introduced myself to my tutee as I normally would and had her explain to me what her assignment was about.  She showed me the assignment prompt and rubric. Since the professor had already gave us an overview of the assignment, I already knew what to expect and what to work on as the tutor. Another reason I believe it went good was because the tutee I had was very prepared with her research/information and had a direction as to where she wanted to go with her paper which made the session go even smoother. After, I start skimming through her paper I noticed that her paper had a lot of grammatical errors but my main focus was to help her focus on the assignment, the overall structure and what her professor was asking for. Her thesis was a little unclear just needed some fixing we worked on that for about six minutes and began working on the structure of her essay. I recommended to explain what charter schools are and their background before giving her argument. Overall, it was a great turnout and I enjoyed helping every minute of it.
