In this video I share how I prepare for community days as a tutor with Classical Conversations. I share my planning method, tutor board preparation process, tutor tips and lessons learned, my “go to” resources, and “best practices”.

I mention taking just what you need for the week, however, I do suggest using a carrier/bag for your board and even using a wagon for the days you have a “more than full” load.

FAVORITE CC CONNECTED RESOURCES:
(Found in the file sharing section of CC Connected)

“Six Week Tutor Plan” and stick in the sand tutor toolbox*** ... this is AMAZING!!!

(As shown in this video... + 6 weeks of ideas for each subject!)

You’re such a wonderful resource for us mamas and tutors! I LOVE that your first tip was to plan ahead the week before because that’s what I’ve done this year that has made it so much better in presenting the new grammar. I actually have my littles a week ahead so I’m teaching them during the week before as well which they love so they can feel more confident going into the new CC week with their friends. I love the Nicole L. Science resource too, what a blessing to have that. I printed it out at the beginning of the year, made my own cover for it, and have it spiral bound. It’s been so helpful.

I'm having trouble finding the stick in the sand toolbox. Can you share it or link it? Thank you for all the tips!! It's my first year tutoring so I'm gathering all the tips. Also, where did you get your board? And, how do you stick your timeline cards on your board without compromising your cards?

Hi! I wondered if you are planning to make some cycle 2 weekly memory work videos? Your cycle 1 videos were so helpful to us! Thank you!

Hi there! I’m about to start my first year tutoring and your video has been so helpful! I’m trying to find that document (Six week tutor plan) on CCC but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Do you still see it? Am I missing it?

Hi there, I am a fifth year cc mom but first year tutor… The stick in the sand toolbox paperwork looks so amazingly helpful, but I cannot find it on the new cc connected site… And have been looking around on the Internet for it… Do you have any recommendations or idea where I could find that
