I believe that instruction should be around the learner and not the other way around. Therefore, my first move when tutoring is to assess the student to see exactly where they are at. Then I like to find out their learning style. The result of assessment and learning style help me to build instruction that is student-centered. I am also keen to allowing student voice, since each student has an indication of how they learn and what works best for them. I also like to time table what we will set out to accomplishment and have found that to bring structure to my tutoring.
