Correy, Thank you for bringing up an important issue for many Tutoring centers. I have worked a lot this year to change the mechanics of how Tutoring works in order to optimize our use of staff. It gets complicated to describe since every Tutoring center is different, but I would be happy to elaborate more on this if you'd like. Some general practices I've put in place are aimed at the Tutor's professional development and team building. I've begun having Tutors fill out peer observations when they are idle in order to observe various practices and techniques other Tutors use. I've also begun to encourage 2x1 Tutoring, if the situation would benefit from it, so that other Tutors might be able to job the memory of the initial Tutor. I've gone back and forth as to whether I should ask idle Tutors to look into new facilitation or instructional techniques that work with their courses and document them for other team members to use. The downside is that by creating more work for idle Tutors almost means they are being penalized for not having clients at the ready which is out of their control. This is why I've worked on changing the operational workflow and not placing a lot of the work on my student-employees. *Thank you,* Michael Michael B.
