Overview

This is a book that focuses on the single most influential factor in the learning experience. Why that factor is so important, and what are the keys to gaining the most from the all important teacher / student relationship. The author's observations and experience as an educator, trainer, and student of learning have reinforced her powerful theory of adult learning principles. How to overcome the limitations of the traditional approach to tutoring and transform the relationship between tutors and their learners is central. The structure of the book is designed to explore the origin and extent of the problem in the first five chapters. Chapter 6 looks at the relationship from the perspective of both the tutor and the learner, while Chapters 7 - 11 go on to explain the principles of engagement and how to achieve it.
