Narrative:
Aircraft X had the wrong frequency dialed in for the localizer and joined the wrong final. Approach clearance was canceled and pilot was climbed to 3000 feet. Vectors were issued and the correct localizer frequency was given. A turn to a 340 heading was issued. Aircraft X entered the 3900 feet minimum vectoring altitude (MVA) at 3000 feet and was issued a climb to 4000 feet. My supervisor (in training) was sitting beside me. Either he thought I issued the turn in time to avoid the 3900 feet MVA (as I thought I did) or he said nothing and watched the aircraft enter the 3900 feet MVA. He said nothing to me until he informed me I needed to fill out an occurrence report.
