Becoming a Professional Tutor in the Lifelong Learning Sector

"Relevant, accessible and bang up to date in light of reforms to ITT... a ′must read′ for all teacher education students" (Lead Practitioner, Cornwall College)
This is recommended in the 1st and 2nd modules -- Dr Denise Summers * drupal *
Extremely useful book for anyone completing a PGCE or QTLS -- Miss Amy Smith * drupal *
Sharp′s book is current (2012) and informative, and is particularly useful in exploring the benefits and disadvantages of various research and data collection methodologies (such as observations, questionnaires, and interviews). This will help practitioners explore which methodologies (or combination of methodologies) are most suited to their individual education research projects.

I also found that Chapter 9 covered qualitative and quantitative data analysis in great detail, which particularly helped me critically evaluate my results and recognise flaws in my approach. -- Miss Leanne Humphries * drupal *
Tummons is an excellent author within the sector and his approach and structure offers an easy-to-digest, but detailed insight into professionalism within the LLS.

I particularly found his sections on CPD, reflective practice, and defining professionalism useful, informative and critical, and I believe professional tutors and those in training would benefit from exploring this book. -- Miss Leanne Humphries * drupal *
The book is a useful supplement to course materials. -- Miss Shirley Pickford * drupal *
I recommend this book to PGCE students who are writing their professionalism assignments -- Miss Yeeman Lam * drupal *
A must for anyone wishing to gain more insight and direction into becomming a tutor in an Adult educational environment -- Mr Vernon Ambris * drupal *
Excellent for the Wider Professional Practice module of DTLLS. Tummons is easy to read with clear chapter objectives and summaries with useful case studies and exercises. -- Mrs Helen Handyside * drupal *
Incorporating recent developments with the IFL and requirements for professional practise, a well written text applicable to students on the Cert Ed and PGCE pathway. -- Mrs Iffa Settle * drupal *
A effective guide on becoming a personal tutor -- Mrs Nahid Shah * drupal *
Essential reading that supported me well with my assignments. -- Mrs Rozeena Rahman * drupal *
