Math Tutoring with Zearn
Relay Professional Education is a Zearn Certified partner and is offering a three-part training series for tutors using Zearn Math. The series focuses on best practices for high-impact tutoring, covering the importance of building relationships, nurturing self-directed learning habits, and cultivating a growth mindset in students. Tutors leave the training with a copy of the Zearn Tutoring Playbook, a guidebook designed to support them in launching tutoring intentionally to maximize impact.
In this series, tutors learn to:
- Prepare for tutoring, scaffold the first six days of tutoring, and structure daily tutoring sessions per guidance set forth in The Zearn Tutoring Playbook
- Accelerate learning through building relationships with students, cultivating a growth mindset in students, and supporting their students in developing self-directed learning habits
Zearn Tutoring Playbook
The Zearn Tutoring Playbook is a guide to math tutoring with Zearn. The Playbook includes explicit guidance for tutors on how to intentionally scaffold the first six days of tutoring and how to structure tutoring sessions once students have been onboarded. The Playbook also includes a daily checklist that tutors we recommend tutors follow along with printable resources.
The Playbook is paired with Introduction to Math Tutoring with Zearn but can also be used and purchased as a standalone resource for schools and districts looking to provide direct guidance to tutors on how to facilitate meaningful Zearn math tutoring sessions.
