Third Tutoring Session Observation

This would be my third tutoring observation and out of all the session I believe this is the one that was the most successful. The reason I say this is because the student only came in with an idea on what she wanted to write about and that idea was how can the subway system improve. The tutor told the tutee to brainstorm on some ideas on how the subway system can improve. One way in which the tutee said the subway can be improved is if there were more connection from one train to another. Another suggestion that the tutee came up with was about the rats. For this session, the strategy that the tutor used was collaborative and student-centered tutoring. She also used an idea of James Moffett and that idea was we look at everything in abstract manner when things can be broken down to become more concrete. During this session, unlike my other sessions, the tutor actually included me when it came to helping the student come up with ideas for her paper. This by far is the best session that I have been apart of.
