Take a look at the infographic highlighting 5 Ways Tutors Can Assist Teachers as Coaches.
To ensure well-being in schools, leaders must make careful decisions to aid teachers without encroaching on their autonomy. Here are five ways tutors can step in immediately to support teachers in and out of the classroom:
Providing Round-the-Clock Assistance: Amidst the pandemic, teachers faced an overwhelming shift in their workload, leading to unsustainable stress levels. By implementing 24/7 tutoring services, teachers can have support for students outside their working hours.
Support for Independent and Group Work: With an average ratio of 15.8 students per teacher, educators often wish for more personalized attention. On-demand tutoring enables teachers to expand classroom support where teacher-assistant aids targeted, inquiry-based learning.
Offering Additional Encouragement: Research indicates that praise significantly improves students’ focus, even in older age groups. Tutors providing positive reinforcement during sessions can uplift students' spirits.
Identifying Learning Gaps: Tutoring sessions serve as valuable additional data for teachers. They offer insights into students’ comprehension levels and areas needing further guidance.
Diverse Support and Skills: With a diverse student population, tutors can bridge language gaps and offer varied instructional approaches. This tailored assistance, as described by teacher-assistant tutor Matthew, aligns with each student’s learning style and language needs.
