How was my tutoring observation?

Hey everyone, yesterday was my first tutoring observation at the writing corner in the school. Before yesterday, I had only gone there once during my freshman year when I needed help starting a essay. My own experience there was good, because the tutor I had was very helpful in breaking down what my professor wanted me to write in the essay. This time around was different because I was there to observe how the tutors use their own techniques to help such students like myself improve their writing assignments.

Coincidently, I was assigned to observe to ENG 101 professor. I was already familiar with his style of writing, and what he expected in his essays. When I was in his class, he taught me the "sandwich" method with constructing a proper essay, and I still use this method to this day. When the tutor, student, and I sat in the cubicle he did not waste any time getting right into the essay. I could be wrong, but I wish he would have asked the student how he was doing just to get him more comfortable. Instead the tutor just started to read the comments which the students' professor wrote on the paper, and began to work from there. The tutor read the assignment sheet which was good to me, because as tutors we will come across topics about everything, and it would be a little easy for us if we read the students'  assignment sheet. At first, I wanted the tutor to talk to the student outside of the paper just to see where he was in the paper. He did that towards the end of the paper by asking the student questions, and having him write his ideas down which he would add to his paper. This was good because that is how the student will remember what to put in their paper when they are rewriting it. The tutor didn't really focus on grammar, he actually told the student "don't let grammar stop you from writing, because any errors will be fixed at the end." I liked that the tutor told him that because he may know that a lot of students get distracted with worrying about their grammar, and it stops them from writing their paper flowingly. The student became a little more relaxed after he was told that, and I knew he would keep that statement in mind whenever he writes more papers.
