Whose Learning?' explores the increasingly popular practice of academic and personal tutoring and addresses three fundamental strands of the learning process and their complex inter-relationships: knowing what to learn, knowing how to learn, and knowing yourself as a learner.

It recognises the important role of the personal tutor in working individually with his or her students, and illuminates the processes, educational relationships and learning interactions underpinning this role. The book addresses three fundamental strands of the learning process and their complex inter-relationships: Knowing what to learn Knowing how to learn Knowing yourself as a learner Offering examples of good practice in supporting student learning Whose Learning? is essential reading for student, beginning and more experienced teachers in schools and colleges who want to reflect on and improve their own practices.
