Such sessions often involve several one to two hour meetings prior to moving on to an actual service delivery. This year some 365 hours were spent counseling clients. During the year we had 10 tutors working with 24 tutees. All tutees are school age children and three are not attending school. Tutoring is done after school and usually runs for one to two sessions per week.
Sessions are usually of a one hour duration.
All tutors have been interviewed and registered at the LDAY office and most have taken the LDAY Tutor Training which is provided semi-annually. Most tutors have education degrees and are teachers in Yukon schools. Periodic reviews are completed to ensure maximum program effectiveness. Every effort is made to cooperate with the relevant school staff to provide consistent instruction. In certain situations, where tutoring is deemed appropriate, the tutee cannot afford the service.
