How Tutoring Works :|ALL TUTORS AND STUDENTS MUST READ|:

    Each tutor has their own skills in roleplay and their own styles in teaching them. But because of this, each student may receive different expectancy standards. Some tutors may want somewhat of a guide to what they should teach their students, as well. Here's some answers.

Required Threads
The following threads are required, but not limited to, from each student/tutor:
    

• 'First Session/Introduction' Thread - This is where the student and the tutor can talk about what they plan on working on, discuss future evaluations that a tutor may wish to give, and possibly give a quick introduction to the basics of roleplaying
• At Least Three 'Session (#)' Threads - These threads are used to teach the student using series of the below strategies and any reasonable strategies a tutor sees fit. It is known that threads can be extremely active, but try to center a single thread around a certain practice
• At Least Two 'RP Practice' Threads - These threads are roleplay threads using character descriptions given by the tutor. They are used primarily for practicing roleplay and finding places of improvement in a full thread, but that doesn't mean the tutor can add a little OOC notes to help guide the student
• A 'Final Exam' Thread - Tagging me (Sunny) to the thread as well, the tutor will give a roleplay prompt and the student will reply in a post at least 75 words long. I will give my input, and so will the tutor. If we both agree the student has passed, the student will no longer need tutoring unless they truly wish it. If not, tutoring will continue for at least a month until another Final Exam can be given. If the tutor and I disagree, we will discuss our opinions in a PM and get back to the thread when we have decided

Strategies That Work
The following is a list of tutoring strategies that a tutor can use in a session thread:

• Error Analysis - Have student read a piece of work that the tutor creates and find errors in it, such as grammer, spelling, punctuation, power playing, god modeling, and so on. This usually works by the tutor creating the sample, and the student copying and pasting the thread into their own reply. Then, in red text, the student will make changes to the sample so that it is better.
• Relating To Books - Have a student compare and contrast between short stories and roleplay text. What do both use? What do they use that is different? This helps the student get a firm grasp of what it's like to write a story that another person can add on to without changing the original text.
