The tutor must evaluate the student's progress to make sure the student is receiving enough attention and assistance during the one hour session. The HHA should always try to motivate the student and provide them with confidence. Students need to have positive feedback from the tutor to feel successful and get work done. The HHA must also assist the student to develop study skills specifically tailored to the student.
