Describe any apprehensions you have about becoming a tutor. How will you goals for a tutoring session compare to your tutee’s goals? In your own career as a student, when have you felt most motivated to learn? What factors contributed to your motivation? Are there ways you could introduce these factors into your tutoring? How will you prepare yourself for your role as tutor? There are several ingredients for a good tutoring session. Which one will be the most difficult for you? Why? How can you identify your tutees’ strengths and weaknesses? During the first tutoring session, you realize the tutee is there to get his or her homework done. How do you respond to the tutee? How would you ask a tutee to work independently while you assist another student in the drop-in lab? What can you do to establish rapport with your tutee? Is it possible for a tutee to monopolize your time? Why is it important to know why your student is seeking tutoring? Research the Socratic Method on the web. How might you encourage a visual learner using Socratic techniques? There are several different types of probing questions. Discuss one type and how you would convince your tutee that a question of this sort will help him or her to “dig a little deeper.” How can you integrate study skills into your tutorial sessions? A tutee is always late to the tutorial session and behind in her or his work. You suspect the student has poor time management skills. What do you say to the student? What advice do you give students who claim they “know their stuff” but become extremely anxious during exams? How can you help tutees learn to anticipate exam questions? Are there any limitations on the type of assistance you may provide in this area? Why should students look over a returned test? Do you take good notes? What advice can you give students about taking good notes? How may well-designed notes help them succeed in class? How could you help your tutee improve in reading comprehension? What are the results of your learning style test score? Do you agree with the results? Why? What advice can you give a tutee whose learning style seems at odds with the requirements of this semester’s course(s)?
