Tutorial Support

Dr. Jerry Pike
Director of Learning Support Services
He [Plato] defined education
as we would: as training of personality to absorb the greatest
possible scope and intensity of meaning and value from experience.

Introduction
Tutoring can be an enormously
valuable teaching resource. It has been around as long as instruction
itself.
Many students find fresh
perspectives on course content with a tutor's assistance and may
be led to apply learning strategies they had not previously considered.
Tutors who have taken training (Tutorial 199) are encouraged to
assist students with the formation of basic learning skills as
well.
Ideally, a good student-tutor
relationship will foster independent learning skills in students
and tutors alike. Both will better understand how to apply various
strategies to learning based on knowledge of learning styles,
memory aids, time management and genuine self-motivation.
