The assistant reports which way the surface moves (up, down, left, right). It is up to the PIC to correlate the reported direction of movement with what (s)he commanded. Exactly the opposite of what I have always taught. As the PIC, I want to be in charge of the force put on the control surface and I want to see, hear, smell, feel that control surface through its entire movement. That means that my assistant is moving the stick and I am walking around the glider touching the control surfaces and looking at everything else. I never use "up, down, left, right". I substitute "toward me" and "away from me". Left and right are relative terms at best, and people often get it wrong. When you move the control stick towards a control surface, that surface alway goes up; move it away from the control surface and that surface always goes down...no ambiguity and no error!
