Tutoring Session #3

This tutoring session lasted a very short period of time. It was only for twenty mintues, seeing as the girl cut out very early. The tutor was very concerned with everything else besides the assignment. She started out fine, asking questions about the topic, and hearing the writer's views. The assignment was on changing how factory workers are treated. She didn't have any ideas, but the one thing that she did have was health insurance. From that statement, the session went awry. The tutor began telling her how insurance works, and what the best one was to get. Also she even told her where to go if she didn't have any herself. After that, she began to complain about her own insurance company, and the writer and myself began to feel uneasy. I saw the tutee looking down at her phone while the tutor was talking, and she said "Well thank you, this has been very informative," and left. The tutor looked confused, as if she didn't know why she left, and I didn't think it would've been appropriate for me to tell her that her session was a bust.
