1 What is active listening?

Active listening is a skill that involves paying attention, showing interest, and providing feedback to the speaker. It is not just about hearing the words, but also understanding the meaning, emotions, and intentions behind them. Active listening can help you to build rapport, empathy, and trust with your tutee, as well as to clarify any misunderstandings or confusion. Active listening can also encourage your tutee to open up, express their thoughts and feelings, and participate more actively in the learning process.

Active listening can be found as a valuable skill among many professionals. It is beyond listening with ears, it comes paying attention to details in gesture, eye contact, under tone, emotion and rational of the communicator.

When I practice active listening I analyse the contents of the peers, colleagues or pupils I am helping. I actively focus on the words they use since these words contain deeper informations in the gap, help or perspectives that they do not understand. I also try to have a stance that allows the other to feel at ease, heard, and valued because feeling judged while asking for help can hamper the ability of one to convey a message that is crucial for help or support.

2 How to practice active listening?

To practice active listening, you need to use both verbal and non-verbal cues to demonstrate that you are listening and engaged. Verbal cues may include asking open-ended questions that invite your tutee to elaborate, such as "How did you approach this problem?", probing questions that help them reflect, analyze, or evaluate their own learning like "What did you learn from this exercise?", paraphrasing or summarizing what your tutee has said to check your understanding, and giving positive feedback or praise that acknowledges their efforts. Non-verbal cues may include maintaining eye contact and nodding your head, leaning forward and tilting your head to show interest, using facial expressions and gestures that match their emotions and tone, and avoiding distractions or interruptions that could disrupt communication.

3 What is questioning technique?

Questioning technique is a skill that involves asking the right questions at the right time and in the right way to facilitate learning. It is not just about testing your tutee's knowledge or understanding, but also about stimulating their thinking, curiosity, and creativity. Questioning technique can help you to assess your tutee's needs, goals, and progress, as well as to challenge them, guide them, and motivate them to learn more.

The questioning technique is complementary to active listening, it allows the tutee to feel understood and that we can actively put ourselves in their shoes. It also helps us understand better where the gaps are and are an excellent provider of cues, goals of the tutee.

4 How to use questioning technique?

In order to use questioning technique effectively, you need to consider the purpose, type, and level of your questions, as well as the timing and tone of your delivery. For example, plan your questions ahead of time based on your tutee's learning objectives, strengths, and weaknesses. You should also vary your questions according to the type and level of thinking you want to elicit from your tutee. Additionally, adjust your questions according to your tutee's response and feedback. Furthermore, ask your questions at appropriate moments with a supportive tone. For instance, ask some warm-up questions at the beginning of the session to break the ice and activate their prior knowledge. Ask some checking questions during the session to monitor their comprehension and retention. Ask some summary questions at the end of the session to review and consolidate their learning. Additionally, ask your questions with a friendly and encouraging voice rather than a judgmental or intimidating one.

There are a variety of questioning techniques and understanding when and how to use each is a fundamental skill for a tutor. Some techniques assess understanding, some identify learning roadblocks, and others increase student engagement and self reflection. Using questioning techniques to discover what a tutee needs, what may be hindering their learning, and what goals to set is pivotal to building the scaffolding the tutee needs.

5 How do you check for comprehension and retention after asking questions?

Asking questions alone is not enough to guarantee that your tutee has understood and remembered what they have learned. To check for comprehension and retention, you can use various assessment methods or strategies. For instance, you can ask your tutee to repeat, restate, or rephrase what they have learned in their own words. This can help them consolidate their memory and demonstrate their understanding. Additionally, you can ask them to apply what they have learned to a new situation or problem, allowing them to transfer their knowledge and skills. Furthermore, you can ask them to create something based on what they have learned, which can help them express their creativity and originality. Finally, you can ask them to teach you what they have learned; this will help them review and reinforce their learning and prove their mastery.

Creating meaningful ideas, building original sentences, and basically making something relevant from scratch utilizing the materials learned is an excellent way to not only apply and check for understanding, but also to fine-tune nuances that may have been overlooked.

To check for comprehension and retention, I often recommend the "Blurting Method". I would provide paper and ask my tutee to write down on the paper the answer to a question. This helps the tutee write their answer with their own words and they will be able to see where the gaps are in their understanding. Creativity can also be used to create maps, linking pieces of information together for instance.
