The first video was very vague and did not seem to make much sense. I couldn’t tell who was the tutor and who was the student. For some reason someone got removed from the tutoring room by the teacher and I didn’t know what the teacher was doing going around and talking to the students either.
In the second view the student has no respect for the tutor or tutoring session. He doesn’t show this until part way through the session when he dumps his notebook all over the table. The tutor sits back and takes this looking vaguely alarmed. Then when the student starts talking on his cell phone the tutor waves his arm to get him off the phone. Once off the phone the tutor has a long monologue that I think is about correcting the student’s behavior. Then randomly at the end they are on good terms…
In the third video everything runs smoothly. The tutor is friendly, open, and warm; the student is open to help and eager to work on his paper. They part of extremely well terms. The following are lists of what I noticed in each video.
