How confident do you feel in your personal tutoring role? In the face of ever-increasing and demanding learner issues, do you feel equipped to provide the essential support to meet their needs? This timely book provides you with essential help in an area which has often been given little attention in comparison with curriculum delivery by:

  • contextualising the support side of a teacher’s role within further education;
  • looking beyond conventional notions of personal tutoring and coaching;
  • appreciating the real world applications of issues;
  • recognising the benefits personal tutoring and coaching bring to learners and educational institutions;
  • reflecting on a variety of different approaches to support learners’ achievement as well as positively affecting institutional key performance indicators.

It provides proven practical advice and guidance for planning and delivering group tutorials, undertaking one to ones, identifying and managing vulnerable learners and those at risk of not achieving, as well as helping learners to progress onto their chosen career paths. It explores methods to engage the most disaffected and hard to reach learners, as well as stretching and challenging the more able.

It includes clear aims, detailed case studies, learning checklists and a unique self-assessment system for the reader and the educational institution. You are encouraged to develop your skills in order to influence individual learners as well as the systems, processes and performance of your educational institution by becoming an outstanding personal tutor.

The text is an excellent foundation for the majority of modules on teacher training qualifications and is relevant to any pre-service or in-service trainee teacher or existing practitioner with a personal tutoring role, a specialised personal tutor, manager or anyone in a learner-facing role within further education.

CHAPTER 1

What is a personal tutor?


Chapter aims

This chapter helps you to:

• explore the natural overlap between outstanding teaching and personal tutor practice;

• define the personal tutor;

• explore the useful relationship between personal tutoring and coaching;

• consider different theoretical models and apply these to different situations;

• recognise the useful qualities and attributes of personal tutoring within different situations and create actions to improve your practice;

• understand different institutional models of personal tutoring and evaluate their relative advantages and disadvantages.


Setting the scene

How outstanding personal tutoring principles lead to outstanding teaching

The principles of being an outstanding teacher are very similar, if not the same in most instances, as the principles of being an outstanding personal tutor. For example, both the teacher and personal tutor demonstrate a commitment to learners through respecting their uniqueness and individuality and therefore provide appropriate learning experiences as well as aiming to motivate and inspire learners to achieve their potential. Personal tutoring principles are ones that most trainee and experienced teachers use many times throughout their working day. Even though these are principles that learners find particularly helpful, they tend to be the least written about and are not always covered in teacher training.

So, what are these principles? We use the phrase outstanding personal tutoring principles as the umbrella term which includes all of the numerous aspects covered within this book, from values and skills through to key activities and measuring impact, together with everything in between. Your teacher training will show you how to plan and teach a good lesson, which is of course vital. However, it is important to explore how other complementary approaches, which help learners succeed, can be learnt and mastered.

Good teachers and good teaching aim to put each learner at the centre of everything, whether that is when planning a lesson, marking a piece of homework or even having a departmental meeting with colleagues. In today's modern, fast-paced, target-driven and ever-changing educational landscape, teachers, whether you like it or not, are expected to offer more to a learner's success than just traditional classroom delivery. Whatever your methods, you are trying to help learners to get from point A to point B, but more quickly than they could do by themselves. Point B is learner success, though as you will already have found out, 'success' for each learner looks very different and, if we are honest, probably should look very different. This is where the outstanding personal tutoring principles will enable
