Anu Aggarwal: “You need to understand the needs of each student and organise the class accordingly. One needs to keep in mind that they are not spoonfeeding the students with all the answers. You need to help the students reach up to the answers by brainstorming rather than letting them know the answers.”
“The goal of the workshop was to train both new as well as experienced facilitators/tutors about about the learning process and effective learning environments. We learned about the 5E’s that can help to layout the structure of your class: Engage-Explore-Explain-Elaborate-Evaluate. Different teaching techniques can be applied, like having group discussions, Q/A sessions, games etc. in order to make classes more fun and informative.”
“Being a tutor is like attending a crash course in human psychology. It gets better with experience. You need to understand the needs of each student and organise the class accordingly. It should benefit all the students in some way or the other. One needs to keep in mind that they are not spoonfeeding the students with all the answers. You need to help the students reach up to the answers by brainstorming rather than letting them know the answers. With all the activities we did in the workshop, we got to know the essentials of tutoring and some of best practices to deploy and test.”
