Best Practices for Tutor Supplier Reports

  1. When you hire your tutors, make it clear in their contract/agreement the requirement for session report submission including: accuracy, completeness, timeliness and that these are required in order to pay them.
  2. Outline the time from when the tutoring session is completed that session reports must be completed. A good best business practice is within 12 to 24 hours of session report.  
  3. Ensure each tutor is trained on how to complete a session report.
  4. Provide the tutor with the components which must be included in each session report. Ideally these should tie back to the goals which were established at time of enrollment.
  5. Review session reports in a timely manner and provide regular feedback to the tutors on submission, accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. 
TIP:  Remember it is important a parent receives the session report before the next tutoring session!
