Post: How do you structure a "typical" tutoring session?
Posted by Lesa on 5/24/08
Just curious ... would like to see how others structure
their sessions, in general. I am always looking for ways
to 'tweak' my activities.
I work primarily with elementary-age students. It seems
that primarily folks looking for tutoring do so in Math
and/or Reading, so I generally begin my sessions with
about 15 minutes of review/drill (i.e., math facts, sight
words, some type of review activity; then 30 minutes of
focused activity on specific skills; then last 15 minutes
in some type of learning game to support skills on which
we are working. For the younger elementary student, I use
a lot more of the focused activity as learning games also.
I would love to hear how others structure their time.
