On Monday, 21st October, our tutors participated in a training session titled 'Feedback and Communication'. During the session, our Senior Tutor Vivek, discussed the four types of feedback we provide at Trefoil Tutors (post-lesson debriefs, lesson write-ups, individual student comments online and termly parents' meetings), as well as the importance of delivering high-quality feedback to parents. Keeping all three parties (parents, tutors and students) in the loop with current attainment levels, targets and areas for improvement are vital in ensuring long-term, sustained progress and feedback is an ideal too to do so! We hope the training was beneficial as well as enjoyable!
