Our program provides one-on-one tutoring but there is a shortage of available volunteer tutors, and we have a large waiting list of students. We are investigating drop-in tutoring as a means to deal with the waiting list. We serve adults who speak conversational English but it may not be their first language. We do not have a specific ESL program. We are investigating drop-in tutoring where a tutor would be available on a set schedule, perhaps two or three times a week, to assist any students on our waiting list until they could be matched with a tutor of their own. We realize that we may have difficulties finding a volunteer tutor who will feel comfortable with the drop-in situation, so we may need to hire a teacher. Some adult schools provide open entry/open exit classes, which is similar to the drop-in situation. I am curious how both situations work, and can the tutor/teacher use EFF effectively for goal setting, assessment, and student retention in those situations. I would like to hear from anyone who is using EFF with adult students and has open entry/ open exit classes. Or is anyone on this list doing drop-in tutoring? How are you incorporating EFF into the drop-in situation? What is the students' response to the drop-in environment? Lastly, do you have any resources for the practice and/or model that you are using and any other recommendations? Thank you for your time and response.
