  1. Tutoring Students Public Resources: Youth, Adult, and ESL/ELL Students

  2. Build a Positive Relationship

  3. Rules for Tutors Respect the student: treat students as equals & avoid patronizing. Introductions are important: set guidelines & remember names. Understand the student's assignment before you start. Ask questions instead of giving answers. Re-iterate important concepts. Speak positively: use simple language & sandwich praise/critique. Admit when you are not sure. Reflect on how students have improved over time. Set realistic goals, limit time of sessions, and encourage progression. Be patient & maintain a sense of humor!

  4. Foster Independent Learning Encourage, reassure, and set boundaries with students to minimize a student’s dependency on tutoring. Encourage students to attempt problems on their own before seeking help. Constantly reassure students of their competencies and be sure that any criticism you offer is constructive. Set boundaries to prevent students from clinging to your help. Limit time of sessions. Cut back on number of sessions as you see improvement.

  5. Tutoring ELL & ESL Students

  6. Prioritizing Your Tutoring Session

  7. Macro VS Micro Macro Level Problems Micro Level Problems Disordered paragraphs No transitions between ideas Unclear thesis statement Vague introductions and conclusions Lack of focus seen in digressions Confused word order in sentences Disordered modifiers Inappropriate verb tense Inaccurate verb formations Ambiguous prepositions Subject/verb disagreement Confusion of count and non-count nouns Missing definite and indefinite articles

  8. The ESL Consultation:Talk Before Text Discuss the assignment What does the professor require? Are the instructions clear? Talk about the student’s response to the assignment What did he/she choose to write about? How does that topic fulfill the assignment’s expectations? Ask about the writing process Where are you at in your process? What do you plan to do next?

  9. The ESL Consultation: Review the Paper In this stage of a session, get the ESL student to read his/her paper to you instead of reading silently. This helps the student recognize errors and improves proof-reading skills. Work from macro to micro when pointing out problem areas. Use any resources that may reinforce the concepts that you are discussing during the consultation. Be sure that you are being constructive. Respond to the paper as an uninformed reader. Act as a fresh set of eyes for the student. Use grammatical terms when offering explanations.

  10. The ESL Consultation: Ending a Session Make sure the student understands the concepts. Assign enhancement activities to continue progression. Encourage the student to keep working on the writing process. Encourage the student to go talk to the professor about their writing process as well. This is especially important if there is confusion about the nature of the assignment. Complete necessary documentation and set up a time/date for the next session, if needed.
