Tutoring

We should ALWAYS talk about our student's progress with our friends at lunch.

• Absolutely! Sharing is caring!

• No! We should never discuss student progress outside of the tutoring center.

When a student is taking a test or quiz, we should...

• Let our teacher know they are testing, encourage our student before they start, and then the student should take it independently.

• Take the student's test and do it for them.

• Tell our teacher we aren't "helping them" but continually give them non-verbal cues (smiles, frowns, etc.)

• Google answers for our student.

You are sitting at home, the night before tutoring, thinking "I'm so stressed about this test. I could probably study for another hour, but that sounds awful." What should you do?

• Assume that your tutoring teacher is really nice and will let you study instead of tutor if you show up and ask really nicely before the class starts.

• Study all night, stress yourself out, and show up to tutoring grumpy, tired, and unwilling to help.

• Email your tutoring teacher to let them know you are stressed. Know that you may get time during tutoring to study but its not a guarantee. Study for one more hour at home.

• Tell no one you have a test. Get your assignment for tutoring. Instead of tutoring, study for your test while your student pretends to work.

True or False: Raptor Academy students want to do well in school.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Your student is having a hard time engaging with you. List the steps you would take to have a productive tutoring session.

Your student tells you something that makes you question their safety or well being. You should...

• Keep it to yourself. You don't want to break your student's trust.

• Ask the student's friends if they are okay.

• Tell your tutoring center teacher before the class period ends. He or she can take the appropriate action.

• Give your student advice and check in next class.

You aren't sure what the right answer is or how to approach the problem/prompt on your student's assignment. What should you do?

• Fake it! It is better to appear confident to build trust.

• Ask for help.

• Skip the question or assignment and never come back to it.

What does it mean to create "healthy boundaries" with our Raptor Academy students? Or, what does a productive tutor/student relationship look like or not look like?

What questions do you have? Where do you think you'll need the most support?

True or False: It's going to be a great semester!
