My Second Tutoring Session

         My second tutoring session was a success in my opinion. I was very pleased with the outcome of this session because I believe that the tutee and I were both prepared. 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. I had a student who wanted her paper to focus on why homosexuality shouldn't be discriminated by others. She (the tutee) already had her thesis statement so therefore all we focused on was creating an outline for her paper and jotting down ideas on her topic. I think that this session went good because I used some of the techniques in the Tutoring Writing book. I made sure that I went in with positive energy, greeted her as well as talked to her about what her main focuses are in her future paper and what she wants her audience to understand about what she is saying.
