Tutoring Basics

The Saint Paul Public Schools Foundation is pleased to offer Tutoring Basics training. The Foundation’s Tutoring Basics training focuses on important strategies that all tutors can use to successfully work with youth. The training introduces tutors to using a tutoring session structure, goal setting, good questions, encouraging language, reflection techniques, and much more. Content is presented through the lens of youth development. This training is designed to help any tutor be intentional and skill-based in their tutoring sessions with youth. 

Parking is available on Aurora St or in the Library’s garage (entrance on eastbound University Ave.). The training will be held in the MPR Room, located at the front of the building off of the lobby. Signs will be posted to indicate the room.

Light snacks will be provided but please feel free to bring your own food as needed.
