Tutoring according to

the Gradual Release of Responsibility Model

Be warm, friendly and get to know your student. Rapport is important to set students at ease and help them learn. It also helps you enjoy the session better.
Review the previous session’s learning, resources for learning and any other relevant material. Once you review the material, you will realise you will be able to help the student and should therefore feel a lot more confident.
Review students' homework / school-assigned tasks, management / parent’s feedback. What are some of the things they seems to be doing well in? What are some of the areas for improvement?
Identify gaps and/or areas to enhance.
Co-set goals for the session.

Tutor ‘chunks’ learning into manageable ‘teachable’ portions.
Tutor models a strategy, a technique, a method, a way of doing something, etc.
As you model, make your thinking visible (share your thoughts). Pause to see if they are ‘getting it’.
Tutor highlights features of a model, exemplar or solution, i.e. begin with the end in mind: what does a good solution look like?
Tutor assesses student’s readiness for next phase through questioning and by evaluating students’ questions.

Tutor partially models a strategy, a technique, a method, etc. The idea is to repeat the previous phase with preferably a new situation / problem / scenario but allow for students to ‘help’ you.
Student completes / fills in gaps in the model, asks questions, contributes ideas. If you sense students aren’t getting it, drop back to Explicit Modelling: Is the ‘chunk’ too big?
Tutor asks questions to assess student readiness for next phase.

Tutor assumes ‘benign ignorance’ and grants students more independence and autonomy. “Now, you teach me / show me how to do it / tell me what you know”.
Both student and tutor co-model a strategy, technique, or method.
Tutor checks student readiness for next phase.

Tutor fades into the background.
Student models a strategy, a technique, a method, etc.
Student highlights features of a model, exemplar or solution.
Student practices on their own
Tutor tracks students' process and marks / assesses their work, and identifies areas that require reinforcement.
