What are my Tutoring Duties?

Tutors plan lessons and tutor their learner on a regular basis, usually once or twice per week. However, ESLSAP tutoring is much more than simply providing language training; tutors also help their learners integrate into the local community. Tutoring sessions might include informal conversations, games, outings and sharing social events. It’s really up to the tutor and learner to decide what kinds of activities work best.

 

The main tasks required of tutors are listed below. Your coordinator will provide more detail about your responsibilities in the face-to-face training session.
