Read about the Dole Academy difference.


       
     ·       Traditional tutoring is a method of tutoring in which the tutor helps the students
             complete and understand the current assignment.  Typically, students gain no new skills that
             can be applied to future assignments.

    ·        Instructional tutoring is a method of tutoring in which the tutor teaches the student learning
             strategies to complete similar tasks independently in the future.  Current assignments are
             often used as opportunities to teach learning strategies.

              [A learning strategy is a calculated behavior used by the learner.  The purpose of a
              learning strategy is to positively impact the learning process.]

 

    ·        Traditional tutoring is more of the same.  Traditional tutoring uses the same
              procedures used in class to demonstrate problems.  Traditional tutoring simply breaks
              these procedures into smaller, bite size pieces.

    ·         Instructional tutoring recognizes and values learning differences.  Instructional tutoring
             
teaches using the student’s strengths.

 

    ·        Traditional tutoring is repetition of the same material in the same way.

    ·         Instructional tutoring is used to teach new material.  Instructional tutoring uses only the
              most effective methods.

 

    ·        Traditional tutoring is reactive.  Traditional tutoring uses no plan.  Traditional
              tutoring
 responds to the current need.

    ·         Instructional tutoring is pro-active.  Instructional tutoring is anticipatory and preventive.  
              Instructional tutoring follows a written flexible plan.

 

    ·         Traditional tutoring often leads to dependence on tutors.

    ·         Instructional tutoring focuses on creating independent thinkers and learners.
