When Andy and I met about our conference videos, we went over some aspects of
my tutoring strategy to help me improve everything I do. He mentioned he liked my
positive feedback strategy, which I was very happy to hear. He also thinks that I do a
good job of making my writer comfortable. He mentioned that I do tend to get a little
directive, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I asked him a few questions on how
to fix this and he offered some suggestions and sample questions I could ask to bring
the focus back to the writer. I had some similar feedback. I thought he did a fantastic
job of asking plenty of questions to guide the meeting. He used positive feedback on
one section to help her improve another – which is something I really want to start
incorporating into my own sessions. It was good to hear that my current strategy is
efficient and I am excited to constantly work on and improve it.
