Written scenario · Empathy, Motivation
What's the point?
You are a paid tutor for a Grade 11 student preparing for a provincial math exam.
Three weeks before the exam, the student you tutor stops doing practice problems. Today he pushes his notebook away and says: "What's the point? I'm going to fail anyway." His parents, who are paying for the sessions, have told you they expect a passing grade.
The two questions
- 1How would you respond to the student?
- 2How do you balance supporting someone with holding them accountable?
What raters look for
- Empathy
- Recognizes what others feel and need, and lets that shape the response without losing judgment.
- Motivation
- Shows genuine, sustained drive and a clear reason for choices, including when work is unglamorous.
