Ever consider tutoring more than one student at once? At
Berwick High School, tutors, commonly known as consultants, frequently tutor
groups of students. According to them the experience is not as intimate as one
on one tutoring but helps them gain experience and grow as tutors in an
entirely different way. This and many other ideas were exchanged on Friday,
October 4 when the Berkeley Writing Center communicated with Berwick High
School through Skype. Lead by the Self Study group, Berkeley tutors asked their
Berwick counterparts questions ranging from what made them want to start a
writing center to what kind of papers they commonly tutor. Turns out Berwick
students tutor all kinds of papers including lab reports from science classes! And
they find it exciting and rewarding as the attached video demonstrates. Perhaps
expanding tutoring services into the sciences and trying out group tutoring are
concepts for the Berkeley Writing Center to consider for the future.
