Customer Reviews

Great Aid

As a first year tutor, I was searching for something to help me, give me some ideas. I found exactly what I was looking for in this book.

Shipping and book was good

I got the book all right and its condition was all right too. Thank you, book sellers!

A wonderfully practical, helpful, and informative manual

This manual is excellent for dealing with possible tutor-tutee or tutor-parent issues. It covers everything, including differences in race, gender, religion, socio-economic status, and sexual orientation. I found it extremely helpful in my tutoring "career," and it has helped me better relate to and motivate my students.

The best tutoring manual on the market

I do quite a bit of tutoring and this manual has been invaluable. The book covers almost every situation that could arise between a student and his/her tutor, and gives excellent advice based on real-life situations.
