First Steps in Tuition

(Legacy Material)

One to One Tuition


Objectives

By the end of the session, you will:• Understand the importance of following

safeguarding procedures.• Understand the context and parameters for

tuition.• Have explored the pedagogy of One to One and

small group tuition and be enabled to plan effective personalised intervention.

• Be aware of further support to assist with delivering tuition.


Safeguarding

Schools and tutors must ensure:• All tutors have an appropriate HCC enhanced CRB

clearance which states their role as either teacher or tutor• Tutors have either attended HCC Safeguarding Children

training within the last three years, or should attend within the term of starting employment. (This is free of charge)

• Tutors are aware of internal safeguarding arrangements


Who can be a tutor for One to One tuition?

Since 1st September 2011, tutors have no longer been subject to the strict DfE guidelines surrounding tutor eligibility. Schools will have the final say in whether they require tutors to hold QTS or not.

(Please note: HCC has ceased issuing Tutor

Registration numbers in relation to this project.)


Payment

• For tutors who hold QTS, if tuition takes place during the school day tutors should be funded at their scale point hourly rate. The school day is defined by the HT and Governing Body of each school.

• For non-QTS tutors, the hourly rate for tuition during the school day will be agreed with the tutor.

• Out of hours payments will be decided at the discretion of the school and negotiated with tutors.


School Systems and Structures

What do you need to know about the school you are

tutoring in?

• Fire evacuation procedures

• Spelling, calculation and handwriting policies

• Rewards and sanctions

tutor and pupil• not a replacement for other intervention strategies• can be delivered within or outside the school day


Selection Criteria

Pupil Voice – Reviewing my Tuition

I used to be shy at maths but now I’ve come alive and put my hands up to answer

questions.

I used to get stuck but now I get ideas for stories OK and how to structure it

and how to add key words and adjectives


Role of the Tutor during the Session

• models and articulates good learning which focuses on both process and effective strategies

• provides opportunities for pupils to talk, rehearse ideas and ask questions

• involves the pupil in assessment which will help them acquire self-checking and self-help skills

• praises successes


What makes tuition particularly effective for pupils?

Tuition:• engages pupils in their learning in a way which is not always

possible in the classroom• provides highly tailored sessions, designed to meet individual

needs, delivered by a qualified tutor• is delivered at a pace that is appropriate to the pupil• builds on what the pupil already knows• ensures misunderstandings are quickly identified and addressed at

the point of misconception• increases pupils’ understanding of what they need to improve and

why they need to improve


Pupil Voice – What works for me?

You get a good amount of time to consider and

get to grips with one thing without pressure…

It’s fun... We do fun things like

writing to Man U and

Girls Aloud.

Don’t tell me the answer if I get stuck because that is just

like cheating.Just advise me...

But every now and then there has to be something serious to make sure I’m making progress
