After watching some videos in my writing class I've observed that there are various ways in which tutoring can be done...but what happens when the Tutor is not very helpful. Here are some Tutoring Dont's:
1) The tutor should never get involved in a tutee's personal life. If you have to tutor, it shouldnt be about the tutee's lifestyle but the work that he/she needs help with.
2)When Tutoring you should not just do the work for the student because then the tutoring session will just be a waste of time.
3)Do not waste time or be late for your own tutoring session
4)Please do not Cheerlead too much because think about it...if the student is at a tutoring session it means that he/she has a problem or needs some help with their work
5)Body langauge is important because if you dont look like you are ready to get started, your tutee wont take you seriously.
Tutoring Do's
1) Be on time, atleast before the student, its very professional on your part
2) Be confident enough for the student to trust you...for example: be attentive to the student by asking questions.
3)Listen to what your tutee's problem is or what they need help with, if they dont tell you, ask them
4)Make sure to read the main question if it is given in an assignment or paper so you can have an idea of what to help the student with

Good job, Alesha. I think what you've said about not cheerleading is great. If someone is coming for tutoring, they are basically admitting they need help--so help them!
