Students will learn techniques, methods, and approaches that are effective in improving learning and that will help them become a successful tutor. Through readings, class discussion, case studies, journals, group work and activities, students will become aware of the academic and personal skills that will help those students they tutor achieve their academic goals. Aside from knowing the subject you are tutoring, many other skills are needed to be a successful tutor. This course has been constructed to benefit OCC students by training the tutors in successful tutoring techniques and strategies. OCC tutors are students, faculty and other professionals.
