A Toolbox For The Novice Tutor

Overview As a new tutor, it is important to remember that the student is the focus of your session and her/his specific academic support needs are the reason for your work together. That means that the student should determine the goals for the session; the specific content to work on; how much time to spend on each problem or question (within the framework of the overall time allotted to your tutoring session) and if additional appointments are necessary. In other words, it "isn't about you!"However, you obviously play a large role in the success of the tutoring session. Your primary roles are to guide the student through the problem or concepts; to help the tutee gain confidence, and to help the tutee learn effective study techniques so that s/he can become a more independent learner. Objectives Define the role of the tutor and the tutee in a tutoring session and differentiate between the two Construct a mock introduction to a first meeting with a tutee Discuss what takes place before, during, and after a tutoring session Explain verbally and in writing the recommended structure for a one-hour tutoring session Duration: 22:33 Benefits Tutor Benefits Develop Leadership Skills Learn To Set Clear Expectations Understand & Explain Boundaries Hold Students Accountable Help Others Succeed & Grow Academically Develop Conflict Resolution Skills College Benefits Provide Consistent Training Throughout The Year Implement A 24/7 Online Resource Deliver Engaging Videos That Prepare Tutors Save Time & Money Use As A Stand-Alone Training Or A Supplement To Face-To-Face Utilize Monthly User Reports For Tutor & Financial Accountability Reviews Feedback The videos provided insight and different perspectives on tutoring.
