In my opinion, this orientation programme is a very meaningful one as it allowed me to know my tutees better. By playing fun-filled games as a team, tutors and tutees were able to bond together and know one another better. In addition, it was a very good idea to allocate time for the tutors and tutees to interact. Through the interaction session, my tutees and I familiarized ourselves with one another. I gained a better understanding of my tutees, such as the areas they needed help in and their study methods. This has allowed me to plan my lessons to cater to their needs and thus, ensure that they really gain knowledge from and understand what I am teaching. Moreover, with a preliminary understanding of one another, I can be more at home with my tutees during the peer tutoring sessions. This has helped facilitate the peer tutoring sessions as my tutees can feel free to clear their doubts and I can also check on their progress. All in all, the orientation programme is very beneficial to both tutors and tutees and should continue to be implemented for future peer tutoring sessions! :D
