Tutor Tips - General behavior

  • Be patient.
  • Be supportive.
  • Acknowledge the learner’s progress.
  • Be flexible. A learner may have an "off" day or you yourself may not be feeling well. There are also times when a learner’s pace of reading may have slowed down or reached a plateau, so certain techniques that worked before may not work now.
  • Be sensitive. Sometimes reading a certain selection may cause a learner to bring up an unpleasant memory or find something offensive. The tutor must know when to stop or make a change.
  • Encourage the adult learner to share the knowledge or story of the reading matter with other adult learners or family members.
