minimalist tutoring: generally high ability students
student should do all the work
student has materials
sit beside student, not in front of
body language- student close to paper
be about honest about students responsibilities

take into consideration:
ability
gender
culture native languafe
learning disability
style: personality

ask questions, why did they come? what grade do they want? what is the teacher like?

Check list for tutoring:
- think about your effectiveness- coach effectively in session
- students response/ satisfaction
- what you did/ what student worked on/ what they learned
- coaching strategies
- what worked/ what didn't work
- general information about session- time, place, person
