This afternoon, rather than letting the unexpected free time go to waste, we used it productively to engage in professional development and peer learning by engaging in the Tutors Taking Out Tutors initiative.

We discussed our subject areas and our tutoring preferences, finding a shared appreciation for Mathematics. It was nice to hear how Pamela approaches her sessions and what she enjoys most about tutoring at FE. These kinds of conversations are always refreshing and remind me that we’re part of a supportive and passionate team.

As a longtime tutor with understanding of the centre, Pamela introduced me to the FEC platform and showed me how to log sessions, cancellations, and other activities. I greatly appreciated this opportunity to learn more about the workings of FE and connecting with a fellow tutor.

FE initiatives like Tutors Taking Out Tutors are a great reminder of the value of teamwork and peer support. It was great to meet Pamela and learn from an experienced tutor what I can take into my own practice.
