Live practice sessions
Two facilitated 60-minute rehearsals that new tutors complete in weeks 1–2 of onboarding (timeline). Self-paced modules teach the moves; these sessions rehearse them out loud with feedback — interpersonal skill does not transfer from reading.
| Session | When | Rehearses | Transcripts used |
|---|---|---|---|
| A · The session routine | Week 1, after Modules 1–2 | The five-block 30-minute routine, end to end, three times | T1 (model), T5 (anti-model) |
| B · Handling errors | Week 2, after Modules 3–4 | Probing questions, wait time, the hint ladder, error responses | T2 (model), T6 (anti-model) |
| Role-play cards | Both sessions | Student/tutor/observer roles, per round | — |
Both guides include an online-delivery variant (breakout rooms, captions-on policy, materials in advance) and an observer checklist keyed to the observation rubric — so the first practice observations double as calibration reps for coordinators.
Fictional program, real practice design. Bridge Math Tutoring’s sessions, students and tutors on these pages are fictional. Role-play students are adults playing middle schoolers; the “misconceptions” they simulate come from the same research base as the exit-ticket bank.
