Reaction to Chapter 3:

Chapter three explores techniques used in tutoring sessions that are geared toward making sessions better. To someone who has never tutored before, it's a little overwhelming, but at the same time it's comforting. It's overwhelming because the tutor in the sessions in the book seems to have a better grasp of writing and the writing process than I do. Some of the examples of what you might say to the tutee didn't even cross my mind. In it's own way however, this is comforting because I'm learning about these techniques and potential pitfalls before I gain any experience in tutoring. Knowing about problems that might arise, and how to handle them, or even just knowing how to start a session off well goes a long way to make the proposition of tutoring myself a little less intimidating.
