This document outlines a 12-step tutoring cycle for adult ESL students. The cycle includes steps for greeting students, identifying the task, breaking it into parts, addressing the task, having students summarize their understanding, reinforcing confidence, looking ahead, and planning future sessions. It emphasizes promoting student independence and having students take an active role in their learning through questioning, summarizing, and assessing their own comprehension. The goal is to help students increase confidence and reduce dependence on tutoring over time.
