The Study Circle Tutor: a Training Professional

The tutor has a delicate and strategic role within the Study Circle and it is right that the professionalism of this innovative figure, supporting the training process of the people he/she is accompanying, be elevated to the rank it deserves. Currently, however, no professional statute exists to determine the high educational professionalism of the tutor, often merely considered a guide, a good organiser but certainly not a training planner, a figure needing a packet of relationship skills that aren't even that sophisticated and which might normally described as just natural or "maternal".
