Organising transmission before it walks out
Know-how lives in a few people, and it is rarely written down. Structuring internal tutoring makes it transmissible: a trained tutor, a transmission outline, short sequences produced from real practice, and a record of what was passed to whom.
What separates a tutor from a good professional
An excellent professional does not transmit spontaneously: they execute fast and explain little, because the gesture has become automatic. Tutoring is learned, and it is learned through four precise moves that make the knowledge visible again.
Break the gesture down
Naming the steps you no longer notice yourself. The hardest work, and the one producing the most value.
Hand over early
The learner performs under supervision from the second session. Watching for three weeks installs nothing.
Question rather than correct
« What happens if you start there? » produces learning that « do it this way instead » does not.
Record what is passed on
An outline filled in session after session. It becomes the next tutor's support, and the record of the skills gained.
From the tutor's practice to a reusable module
Structured tutoring produces valuable material: the written description of a gesture nobody had formalised. That material becomes a reusable module, produced through the same chain as everything else and approved before publication. The knowledge then stops being attached to one person.
- 01
The tutor fills the outline
Steps, watch points, common mistakes, edge cases. A few hours spread across the sessions.
- 02
The outline becomes a sequence
Materials, exercises, assessment. The tutor's vocabulary is kept: it is the one the team uses.
- 03
Two sign-offs before publication
The tutor approves the substance, an academic lead approves the design. The module joins your internal catalogue.
- 04
The knowledge becomes available
The module opens to other sites, other teams, the next joiners. The tutor remains the topic's reference.

Running conversations, facilitation, assessment: what equips a tutor before they tutor.
The reference format: it is the shape a tutor's outline takes once produced.
The levels where tutoring is part of the job, and where recognising it as such pays.
Questions about tutoring
How much time must a tutor give to it?
A few hours a month, entered in the schedule as an activity in its own right. Unplanned tutoring happens in quiet moments, which do not exist in weeks when production is tight. That is the leading cause of failure, and it is solved by scheduling rather than by willpower.
Should the tutor role be recognised?
Recognition changes the quality of transmission, and it takes several forms: a mention in the job description, identified time, a certification of the role. The catalogue supports the third, giving the tutor a document attesting to a real, transferable skill.
Does the produced module stay our property?
Yes. A module drawn from your teams' practice belongs to your organisation, serves your internal catalogue and feeds no shared catalogue. It exports with your other content, at any time, in a format usable elsewhere.
