What Wyzant Online Tutoring actually means
Most explanations of Wyzant Online Tutoring start with a definition and stop there. A definition is the least useful part, so this starts with what it looks like in practice instead.
Three parts are doing the work here: Wyzant sets the approach, Tutoring names what it is aimed at, and the online in between is where most of the disagreement actually lives.
For undergraduates, postgraduates and adult learners returning to study, this matters the week before an exam, with four chapters still unread, where the difference between knowing a term and being able to use it becomes obvious quickly.
The questions worth asking
Start where the understanding actually is rather than where the syllabus says it should be: If this question appeared on the exam in a different form, would you still recognise it?
Then test the reasoning rather than the recall: Which step in your working are you least able to justify? Two questions, asked in that order, do more here than a page of explanation.
Where people go wrong
The trap is that re-reading notes is studying. It shows up as a student who recognises every worked solution and can reproduce none of them.
Putting it into practice
In practice this means closing the book and reconstructing the argument from memory, then checking only what failed.
You will know it is working when the student can predict which part of a question is the trap.
