The AVID tutorial process has been divided into three parts— before the tutorial, during the tutorial and after the tutorial. These three parts provide a framework for the 10 steps that need to take place to create effective, rigorous and collaborative tutorials

What is a tutorial?
Small group tutorial sessions are held twice a week during the AVID elective class. During tutorials, the AVID elective class is divided into small groups. Under the direction and supervision of the AVID elective teacher, an AVID-trained tutor facilitates the student-led discussions at each group to help students find the answer to a question, problem, project, and any other school-work related point of confusion they may have.

What are the goals of the tutorial process?
To push each other's thinking. AVID tutorials use an inquiry process.
Tutors do not give the answers. They facilitate the groups' learning process.
Tutors don't teach the answers. They ask more questions. This is called the Socratic method.
How are AVID tutorials different from "tutoring?"
All students must arrive at the tutorials prepared with pre-work completed and specific questions written in a Tutorial Request Form (TRF). If they believe they have no questions regarding any homework, school work, quiz or test in any of their classes, they must still attend the tutorial with a completed TRF in which they ask a question that further explores the material they are studying in any of their classes.
Student questions should be higher level thinking questions.
Students are expected to work and discuss in collaborative group.
Students must reflect on their own participation in the groups and on how the group worked together.
