My experience as a tutor and student was exciting. I was eagered to see what both individuals were able to see what both the student and tutor could offer. When I was the tutor the student came in without a draft. Since the student came in without a draft, the student and the tutor had looked over what the assignment was about and then the student was able to come up with ideas. The student was off to a great start because even though he or she did not have a draft the student had some ideas that were brought forward. I had encouraged the student to elaborate more on some of the ideas that were mentioned. The student was able to find examples to support the main argument.
I feel that both the student and tutor talked equally because at the same time we as tutors and as students sometimes need feedback. I feel that my session went well. As a student, I learned that sometimes we as students need to interact more with the tutor to clarify information. Both the student and the tutor was focused on the assignment sheet which is important as well. I feel that the session did reflect my writing philosphy in various ways because the student had asked questions and was able to refer back to the text.
