Nice to hear your virtual voice, Linden! Haven't seen you in awhile. I really
feel that by institutionalizing tutors, it takes the onus off the student being
tutored. Tutors become just another teacher...

Hi Marilyn—
Our tutors use the library in a pattern similar to yours regarding the vetting,
payment and meeting spaces. This also covers OT specialists. And yes, we do
have student support of various kinds that uses the library both as a back-up
location and a scheduled one. We do not have special tutoring spaces in the
library, however.
Best wishes,
Linden

Dear Rachel,
When we designed our library about 9-10 years ago, we included 2 tutoring rooms
in the plans, as it feels like library resources augment the work of teaching
and learning that happens during tutoring sessions. Our tutors are hired by
the school as contractors, and are vetted by the administration. The school
coordinates the schedules, but parents pay. I believe the billing may go
through the school's business office. In other words, we look at our tutors as
an integral part of our community. We don't encourage families to hire tutors
to meet with kids on their own. The school also has a policy regarding our
own teachers tutoring our students -- this has happened especially with
language teachers and some math specialists.
We currently have about four tutors who work with our elementary and middle
school students before, during and after school. They do meet in the library
tutoring spaces, conference rooms, or in the library proper if space is needed
and we don't have classes.
best, marilyn

Hi BAISL Community,
Many of our students utilize the services of private tutors. The tutors come to
Bay and work with their client during the students’ free block during the
school day. Sometimes I have 4 or 5 tutors in the library at one time. I wanted
to find out from you all if this is a common scenario and what types of systems
your school has in place to monitor this.
- Do tutors use your library space? How many? How often?
- Does your school have any type of policy related to tutors and
school (or library) space?
Thank you!
Rachel
