Welcome/Tutor Training Home Page

Welcome to the new PVCC LSC Tutor Training Home Page! Tutor training provides new tutors with first hand experience as a student while they are attaining the required training (Level I). The tutor training is designed with opportunities for tutors to explore areas of their interest while learning the basic Do's & Don'ts of tutoring. Tutor training through PVCC will provide tutors with theory, resources, experiences, assignments, and a change to share thier unique insights, experience, and knowledge with other tutors and staff in the LSC.

As tutoring supports instruction and learning, the LSC is offering training as a credit course (EDU102 #4056). The credit course: EDU102 - Tutor Training Seminar (1 credit) will transfer as an elective to the Arizona Universities of ASU & NAU (not UA) - see 2005-06 Course Equivalency Guide. The training course competencies include the "Techniques, methods, and approaches of tutoring, history, function, and services of the various referral services available on campus and in the community." See MCCCD's Course Description for EDU102. The tutor training is grounded in research and theories in constructivism, metacognition, and learning. PVCC offers three levels of training for tutors.
