One method that I used during a tutoring session this past week was the concept method. My tutee was having difficult understanding all of the different types of people and their relationship to each other. I think that using this method helped my tutee to understand the larger concept that was being presented. Next time, I will try the recall method because I believe that it would be a little better suited to his needs more than the concept method.
I am assuming that this is history, and if so, that explains a lot. Often history is difficult when you aren't familiar with other cultures and the way that other people live. I do think it is a good idea to continue to recall information from previous sessions. History is ever changing, but it is cyclical as well. Continue to encourage your tutee to learn this information, it isn't only important in history class.
