P 1.0 IntroductionAny effective tutoring session is not merely teaching facts or solely giving information; instead, it is a productive session that should stimulate conversation, debate, opinions, and analysis of ideas.

To ensure success, the most effective tutors use multiple engagement strategies and rare-ly follow one single communication formula. Research suggests that effective tutors often adopt both proactive and reactive strategies during tutoring sessions (Wong, et al., 2010). Highly effective tutors learn to be good judges of when to guide, when to facilitate, when to question, and when to provide direct instruc-tion.

Proactive strategies include the tutor’s ability to create a safe and comfortable learning envi-ronment for the tutee by making learning fun, being readily available, encouraging critical thinking, and teaching effective study tech-niques (Peacock and Cowan, 2016). They also approach the tutoring session attempting to ameliorate concerns by using a friendly and

open social presence to reduce the distance between tutor and tutee “through effective use of communication conventions”

Following the launch of the institute accredita-tion framework, a three-day tutor certification workshop has been virtually organised as part of the accreditation framework implementation plan for all current and aspiring Accounatncy professional Tutors.

2.0 Do tutors need this training?Effective tutors get to know their tutees and cater interactions to the students’ individual needs as much as possible. For example, some students enjoy engaging in social interactions and are already highly motivated to do so, while others feel more comfortable taking a more pas-sive approach to a tutoring session. Either way, it is vital for tutors to communicate and keep track of their tutee’s progress throughout the

Psession. Moreover, some students are reflective learners who enjoy reading material, process-ing, and analyzing, and then discussing, while other students prefer learning while doing.

3.0 Relevance of the TrainingThis training will equip tutors with the neces-sary skills and enable them to conduct more effective teaching and learning environment in both the physical classes and online classes. As part of the Tutors accreditation program, all tutors at all levels shall be expected to possess a certificate of completion of a Tutor Certifica-tion Workshop (TCW) program awarded by the institute among other requirements depending on the Tutor level i.e. Assistant Trainer, Certified trainer, Senior certified trainer. We therefore strongly encourage Tuition Providers to facil-itate their Trainers to attend the TCW as tutor certification will equally be among the accred-itation requirements of the Tuition Provider.
