Importance:
|
-
The tutor/student relationship
is the core of the literacy program. For many students, the tutor
is perceived as the last or only hope to free them from illiteracy and
all the restrictions this involves. Committed tutoring can result
in the necessary break-through, which will open doors to reading and increased
self-confidence.
