There are many major rewards of being a tutor...But they do not happen automatically. Good tutoring is a by-product of experience and training. This book was put together to give both new and seasoned tutors the tools they need to succeed in the world of tutoring. It contains practical, hands-on information that can be put to work by the tutor so that he or she can get the most out of any tutoring session. This book came about through the author's efforts to establish a certified tutor training program at California Polytechnic University, Pomona. Finding very little in the way of practical material on the market, Greenwood started attending a variety of educational conferences. Information gathered from these conferences, along with years of experience and invaluable input from tutors, led to both a tutor training program and ultimately this book. Greenwood's Guide For Tutors contains over 80 pages of thorough, practical, and easy to understand material. With chapter reviews and role playing exercises, Grenwood's Guide For Tutors is ideal for solitary studying or group learning environments.
