What makes a successful tutoring session?

I believe the keys to a successful tutoring session will be to have patience when reading a tutee paper. The tutee is obviously not an expert at writing. I think the tutoring session goes well when a tutor introduces herself to the tutee, it makes the tutee feel comfortable. I think its best when the tutor focuses more on Hoc than the Loc . The tutor shouldn't tell the tutee what to write, let them think, don't make them feel low. I think its best when the tutees know how to explain what their paper is about, I agree with what Cindi said, during her session, she said "the tutor immediately wanted to dive into the paper" that happen many times during my observations and I think that's good, the sessions are about an hour and that's not enough time, most of the times. So the quicker you go to looking over the tutees paper is good, as long as you make sure you're helping them with their paper.
