Tutoring

Teacher, mentor, guide, cartographer...

Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means. Albert Einstein

Reframing tutors as ‘Learning Tutors’ is a shift in the learning culture of a college. It starts with training for tutors and the effects ripple out to personalise the learning for each student.

Our training team, led by Paul Dix and Bill Gribble, have extensive experience in working with schools and colleges to create a revolution in learning, target setting and student relationships. If your tutors are going through the motions or simply lack new ideas and inspiration then you need to talk to Pivotal.

If you are considering revamping tutoring in your college you can take advantage of our expertise.

• Refocus the tutoring system towards learning and empower your tutors with a clearer view of individual progress
• Design your policy and practice so that it dovetails with your existing work in behaviour, personalised learning and emotional wellbeing.
• Tailor your new system to meet the needs of your staff, students and parents/mentors so that it has immediate impact and is also sustainable.
• Put the ‘Learning Tutor’ at the centre of your academic monitoring and make sure that the right interventions are made early.

Enhance your framework for Student Voice to support and sustain changes in the system.

I was both pleased and impressed to observe how you were able to lead the staff training in such a skilled and sensitive manner. The two days you facilitated were enjoyable, thought provoking and challenged all staff to reflect on their own practices.
