What does a typical tutoring session involve?
A typical tutoring session involves the tutors spending some time just chatting with the parents and their children and assessing their needs. This assist with their conversational English skills and also identifies if there is any advice needed to deal with community participation such as meeting Centrelink obligations or accommodation correspondence. Tutors generally bring worksheets that focus on specific skills, such as grammar or problem-solving. We encourage our tutors to incorporate some reading into each tutoring session. Often the children will seek assistance with homework, and the parents may have TAFE asignments or may need help with tasks such as compiling a resume for a job application.
