When I was taking notes, I have noticed the way the tutor and the student was reacting to one another. The tutor was engaged in what the student had to say. In my observation I have noticed that it is important to have good eye contact with the tutor. The student was sitting side by side. The tutor helped clarify the student's assignment. The student was phrasing what North had said which is a good thing. The tutor asked questions to the student. The most important thing to write down in a writing sessions is your summary of your main idea and how the students and tutors respond in different scenarios based on one's learning style.
There was a lot of talking going on and so much going on at once. Since there was so much talking going on it was hard for me to keep up. My notes was a mess becasue I kept scribbling
That tells me I need some type of shorthand or code words.My writing was sloppy, so that I will attribute to not having a system in place to handle the speed at which I was required to write the notes.I had the urge to talk, yes it was hard to remain silent and just observe without actually saying "Try this....or maybe you should do it this way"practice listening skillsI like absorbing two differing perspectives on tutoring and being tutored. You actually get to pick up pointers as if you were being tutored, and its a valuable coaching opportunity for when you actually tutor someone else. Its just like being a "fly on the wall." It takes you out of the picture while you get an objective view of everything taking place during the session
