"Why do teachers employ tutoring activities in the classroom?

Answer 1

Tutoring is another word for teaching, but it involves a more personal level of work. Teachers have to cope with classes of thirty (or more) students, at all different levels. The bright students can often figure things out for themselves. the average students need more teaching, and the slower students need tutoring to help them keep up. That's why teachers employ not only tutoring activities but every other kind of teaching activity they can adapt to their daily classroom needs.

Answer 2

Using Differentiated Instruction, which means to vary the way materials are presented and learning is assessed in order to meet the needs of all learning styles, utilizes this technique.

Some students learn visually and some are verbal learners. Teachers need to make sure that all students have opportunities to learn in the style that works for them. (Example: Not just lecturing all of the time, but giving time for hands on activities OR Not just having unit tests, but having projects that allow for other means of expressing they understand the materials.)

By allowing students to work with a partner or in small cooperative groups, a teacher is giving the verbal learners a chance to assimilate information. Listening and talking to others about a top will help cement this for the student.

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Teachers have many children to look after (imagine having 30 kids every day all day and being expected to challenge every one of them on their own level!). Some of them require a lot of attention, and while she would like to spend a lot of individual time with every child, sometimes it just isn't logically feasable, and having others tutor the child gives them the individual attention they need while allowing her to monitor and help the others in the classroom.

Answer 4

the student that tutors learns at least as much as the student being tutored. You learn alot about a subject and other perspectives by teaching a topic to a peer.

Also we learn better from our peers.


Oh and it takes a community to raise a child- we all help each other.

Answer 6
