• AVID Tutors are key to the success of the AVID program. Tutors are trained to use specific teaching methodologies and materials to work with AVID students. Tutors work with AVID students in study groups and individually, assisting them in all academic areas to make progress toward college and career readiness skills.
• AVID tutorials take place in small groups that are subject area specific. Tutors help students achieve their full potential by facilitating collaborative tutorial groups. Tutors use Socratic questioning and collaborative learning techniques to help the students come up with the answers to their questions on their own and by working with fellow students.

• AVID tutors should be excellent role models of motivated, organized, successful college students who believe that the AVID students will succeed, too. The tutors should be people who will work in a supportive manner with secondary students and will be able to understand the delicate position they will occupy; they are advocates of students, yet ultimately, they are responsible to the teacher.

• Determine from student tutorial worksheets, notes, and discussions the concepts that need to be the focus of tutorial sessions.

• Support AVID scholars through care and connection.
• Take responsibility for the tone and atmosphere of the AVID classroom.
