    Re: How do you structure a "typical" tutoring session?
    Posted by Miss Sara on 5/25/08

    Hi Lesa!

    I've visited a few times, but this is my first post
    here.

    I've tutored younger kids and the "big kids." When I
    introduce something new with my younger students, I like to
    read him/her one or two stories to introduce the topic.
    Then I use that as a bridge to what I am going to teach my
    student.

    If you are continuing something, just pick up where you
    left off. It's best to verbally re-introduce the
    information, especially if it's something new.

    A lot of my students end up being younger ones: I work
    for a special education organization that does NCLB-based
    tutoring. Therefore, I don't have much control over my
    caseload. (I can control the number of students I have.)

    If you have any more questions, feel free to email me.
    You can reach me by clicking on my name up top.

    Good luck!
