Guide identifying important areas of theory and practice around tutoring in small to medium groups (up to 30 members).

Alternatively chapters can be run by instructors as workshops. Each session will last approximately 45 mins to 1 hour.

There are also a number of worksheets where students can engage with and practice the skills. They can do this during the workshop, on their own or in pairs.
