The tutor is actually a tutor in this video, as opposed the other video in which she is an editor. Through her questions for clarification she has the tutee build on his skills. She asked for the assignment, she asked for his thesis statement, and she asked him how his thesis relates back to the assignment. He was a very active participant in his tutoring session. Once she helped him build on his meaning and purpose for the assignment she went back and worked on the mechanics, like grammar... and commas. She didn't overwhelm him, it was taken in steps. First work on the thesis... then work on the topic sentence so it relates to the thesis... now at the end lets work on the grammar. In the other video, the tutee was left out, and she just went about what was wrong with the paper and what she didn't like, which wouldn't help build on the tutee's confidence or skills.
