Chapter Four
Techniques Used
in Collaborative Tutoring
A collaborative approach consists of two or more people working together as partners toward a common goal. How can collaboration be applied and adapted to tutoring?
In any tutoring situation, remember five themes that pervade this book:
- A respect for the child as an individual,
- A view of the tutor and the student both learning and teaching,
- A sensitivity to the child's needs for immediate relevance,
- A view of tutoring and learning as collaborative activities,
- An integration of all four language components – reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
