EV held a very interactive and effective Tutor Training Session at the Harvard Catholic Student Center on February 27. It had been well prepared by the three Coordinators among the tutors and dealt with many of the problems tutors encounter with their tutees and how experienced tutors have been able to deal with them. The sharing also consolidated the sense of community among the tutors.
