Role of the Tutor

Role of the Tutor

One main way to feel comfortable with the learning experience is to have a good relationship with your tutor. The tutor is the person who will help you succeed in your learning, give you tests, and record your success. The tutor does this by:

• listening to you
• helping you to set suitable goals
• guiding you to perform skills and handle information
• helping you to find answers to your questions
• planning learning activities
• testing you when you are ready
• keeping a record of your learning progress

At your first meeting with your tutor, make a plan to communicate on a regular basis. You should talk with your tutor:

• when it is convenient for both of you
• at the pre-arranged time, if possible
• by telephone, written messages, or in person
