Third Observation
My third observation was nothing like my first two. The tutor first introduced himself to the student, then he read only the first paragraph of the student's paper. The tutor started to write notes without telling the student why certain word needed to be changed. So the session became teacher-centered at first, then the tutor sort of caught himself just focusing on the LOCs and not talking to the student, therefore he changed up his technique and got the student involved. Now the session became collaborative, and the student seemed excited to work side by side with the tutor. The student read out loud and caught his own mistakes. The tutor maintained a high tone and showed his involvement through his body langue. The student appreciated the tutor so much that he even wrote down the tutor's schedule to go to the writing center only when that tutor is present.
