In a nutshell: Take a look at the first installment of Yup’s new training video series, along with companion slides, which address effective probing.
One of the trickiest parts about tutoring online is being matched with a student you know nothing about. Do they need an exhaustive explanation or just a push in the right direction? This is why so much emphasis is placed on clarifying student progress and existing knowledge before choosing a suitable explanation approach.
We are excited to share a couple new resources with you which have been created to provide structure and guidance for the Gap Clarification Phase:
Did you find the video format helpful?
What are some training videos you hope to see in future?
Happy holidays and have a wonderful New Year!

In a nutshell: After reading through the following session, what aspects do you feel could have been handled differently?
A couple months ago, we introduced a newsfeed feature called Session Analysis, which looks into less-than-ideal sessions and invites tutors to discuss aspects that could have been handled differently.
We would like to revisit this feature– however rather than including notes with areas of concern, we invite you to read through the session and share your own comments about problem areas you notice.
(Opens session PDF in new tab.)
After reading through this session, what are some things you would do differently if paired with the same student? Use the included message numbers to refer to specific interactions.

POLL: How do you navigate the newsfeed pages?
