Part IV B. Matching Students and Tutors

Submitted by Site Administrator on Mon, 12/05/2011 - 21:49

Care must be taken when matching students with tutors. A successful match can produce wonderful results, but if there is conflict or if either person is uncomfortable then the results may be damaging to both persons. Reassignment is the best resolution so that each person will have the opportunity for success.

Matching Tutors and Students:

  • Use information provided by both tutors and students to determine the best match.
  • Discuss the intake evaluation results with the tutor so they know where to start and how to progress with the student.
  • Arrange the first meeting between tutor and student and be present to introduce the two.
  • Tutor and student should then determine meeting dates, times, and place.
