A students’ wellbeing is vitally important. As tutors We want our graduates to leave us equipped with all the skills, knowledge and experience they need to lead fulfilling careers and personal lives.

In previous decades the role of the teacher was a different one. Learning used to involve a teacher standing at the front of a classroom talking and expecting their students to soak up their knowledge like sponges. In today’s classroom, it is a recognised fact that all students need to learn in an environment of mutual respect…
Before each learning session begins, ground rules need to be established between the learner and tutor, and more importantly between the learners themselves. All learning requires ground rules, which they must abide by and work to. “Ground Rules will help everyone know their limits.” (Gravells, A. 2008) They set boundaries in which the learners must keep to. Each individual has different needs, abilities and learning styles, meaning behaviours and respect for others is crucial. Each individual see respect and behaviours differently to their peers, therefore each ground should be established to ensure a positive learning environment. Ground rules ensure routine in a professional manner.…
The main role of a tutor is to equip students with the information they require in a way all the students identify with to enable them to understand and complete the qualification/course. To do this the tutor has to identify needs, plan & design the course accordingly, deliver correctly, asses students to ensure comprehension and evaluate teaching methods and effectiveness of the material delivered. The tutor is responsible for promoting inclusion, equality and diversity and ensuring the course is delivered in a way to encompass all this whilst meeting all learners’ needs.…
As a tutor I will need to recognise basis skills needs, perhaps through initial pre-course assessment and discuss with the learner a discreet and sensitive referral route to gain appropriate support. I would also need to have the skills and confidence to support my learners to ensure I do not exclude the learners I am trying to reach.…

Making telephone calls and chasing up students keeps them up-to-date and interested in their learning, but they must not feel harassed or intruded upon. A teacher must be approachable, caring and understanding, but not overfriendly. Whilst I hold a position of authority and should be committed and engaged, I must remain professional, with a degree of detachment, must show compassion but must not get emotionally involved. I should be aware of situations that could be misinterpreted or manipulated and preferably never be left alone with a single learner in a classroom, especially of the opposite sex. Also, I should avoid touching students unless this is a specific requirement of the course, and refrain from giving out my personal contact details such as e-mail address, which might be misused on social networks like Facebook. Equality and diversity is a key consideration, and my personal views on very delicate subjects like politics or religion should never be expressed. A tutor is a mentor, a supporter and an educator.…
The role of every tutor is to value all their learners individually and equally. A tutor has a duty of care towards learners, implicating they should carry out initial assessments of every learner, to understand their learning abilities. Every learner should be provided with any additional support they require. The learner has the responsibility to tell the tutor of any additional support they need, and the tutor should act upon this information at once to ensure the support is provided. Every organisation has different methods of teaching and providing support for learners. The tutor should know how to get access for additional support the learner needs.…

When I am tutoring the learners I actively involve them by asking them questions, getting them to join in discussions, asking them their views or thoughts, this is so they engage in the activity to their full potential. Throughout the appointment I give the learners feedback while working in line with the main legislations to maintain a safe and confidential manner.…
I believe that a good way to get student engaged in a session with tutors is the interaction between the tutor and the student. When a student is being tutored it is important that the tutor and student builds a trusting relationship with one another, so that the student is able to engage in the session. Another way to engage students in a tutoring session to build the students confidence, this way the student will be more engaged the learning process. A way in knowing that a student is engaged in a tutoring session how they are able to respond to questions that are being asked and the question that they ask. Interaction during the session say's a lot about how the student reacts to the information that they are receiving.…
Tutoring has been around for hundreds of years. It has come from tutoring one-on-one to tutoring in groups, peer groups and now even online at a distance. One of the first forms of tutoring, which is still used today, was conceived by a well-known educator by the name of Andrew Bell. This form of tutoring was referred to as "peer tutoring" which is a system of instruction in which learners help each other and learn (themselves) by teaching. Andrew Bell 's initial reasoning behind using peer tutoring was to give under privileged children the opportunity to learn. This method of tutoring has been used and is still being used today in schools and learning centers. It was designed to have the more advanced students to help the students who were challenged in the same area, to understand content better. This allowed for more students to continue to learn a subject and not keep a teacher or instructor from being able to progress further because of…
