Introduction
In Sapience’s K–12 tutoring environment, resourcefulness and problem-solving are key professional skills. This module highlights the importance of adaptability, creativity, and continuous learning as a tutor. A resourceful tutor is a self-reliant problem-solver who effectively utilizes available tools and strategies to support student learning, even when plans change or challenges arise. By developing these skills, you can better adapt to students’ needs, respond when a tutoring plan isn’t working, and turn unexpected hurdles into learning opportunities.
Objectives
- Utilize available resources and tools – Identify and use organizational tools (e.g. digital platforms, library materials, lesson plan banks) to enhance your tutoring sessions and address academic challenges.
- Adapt with a problem-solving mindset – Cultivate a flexible mindset to adjust plans for unexpected learning challenges or last-minute changes in a session.
- Build a personal resource kit – Develop a personal collection of strategies, activities, and go-to resources for continuous professional growth and effective problem resolution in tutoring.
