I am learning alot from reading thru this manual. In the past as far as planning for the tutoring session revolved around knowing what assignments were coming up and reviewing problems the tutee might have had completing them. We would review the instructors notes and try to aid the tutee in deciding what was important to study.
I really like the idea in this section about the KWL chart and plan on utilizing that in my future sessions. It will help me to find out from the beginning what they know and what they want to learn.
Getting the tutee to actively participate has been my biggest obstacle in as much as many would not even try to complete their homework prior so it was hard for me to know how to help them. I will in the future discuss with them better time management skills and how coming to the session prepared is going to be more beneficial for them.
I definitely wish I would have known about the KWL chart before becoming a tutor.
