What distinguishes the Cambridge-Stratford Tutor Training System:

Whether you have 30 or 300 tutors, THE MASTER TUTOR will provide a solid foundation for tutors from all subjects and grade levels that will help them instantly focus on their roles, the action steps to accomplish their goals, and the options and patterns to use with culturally different tutees.

Take the guesswork out of tutor/tutee interactions with proven techniques, guidelines and models. Teach Tutors how to be more effective by:

• understanding their roles and the goal that underlies all tutoring, namely to build independence from tutoring dependence
• utilizing 12 critical steps for every tutoring interaction that provides direction and a focus to encourage learning
• employing 6 different options for communicating to encourage tutees' involvement in learning
• introducing alternatives for interaction that guide learning and keep tutees' participating
• understanding the inter-cultural dimension and the frameworks that help see outside one's own culture and background.

Tutor Trainers benefit by:

• utilizing the latest, state-of-the-art approaches documented by the researched-based efforts of Dr. Ross B. MacDonald, Director of the California Tutor Project
• employing a single source Guidebook that provides the essential information documented to increase tutoring effectiveness
• teaching a straight forward, step-by-step approach all tutors can use to improve their abilities regardless of the content area being tutored
• insuring consistency in quality and style of tutoring to guarantee equal benefits to tutees across the disciplines
• utilizing a training curriculum stressing changes in tutors' behaviors that are easy to observe, document and validate.
