Tutoring meetings at CLAA are designed to support and strengthen independent study—not replace it. These meetings are active, student-led sessions focused on improving study habits, advancing task completion, and removing obstacles to steady academic progress.
Structure of Tutoring Meetings
- Meetings are not passive lessons or lectures.
- Students are expected to arrive prepared, with specific questions, tasks, or goals.
- The tutor helps the student work through problems, plan next steps, and develop stronger independent learning skills.
- Sessions emphasize self-direction, clarity, and accountability rather than teacher-driven instruction.
Documentation
- After each tutoring session, a tutoring record is completed by Mr. Michael.
- The record notes what was covered, goals addressed, and progress made.
- If desired, the time spent in tutoring can be added manually to the student’s instructional time record in the Study Center.
- This ensures tutoring contributes to both academic support and official reporting if the family chooses.
Purpose
- Tutoring provides structured support without creating dependency.
- It helps students build effective learning routines, complete coursework more efficiently, and maintain momentum.
- Documenting each meeting gives parents a clear record of what was accomplished.
Summary
Tutoring meetings are structured, purposeful, and student-led. They are documented after each session, and instructional time may be added to the student’s Study Center record. The focus is always on helping students become more effective, independent learners.
