Rummaging through dozens of sites, I found a plenty that emphasized grammar (Purdue) and a lot that cater to online tutors. More relevant to this class, I found the following most useful:
writingcenter.unc.edu/esl/teacher -- Lots of tips for tutors; excellent, easy-to-understand grammar
blog.socrato.com -- This site provides great tutoring tips and provides quizzes and testing services, too.
www.edudemic -- Offers mountains of help for tutors and teachers (mostly teachers), especially in terms of technology in the classroom.
Though I rooted through dozens of sites, none were as resourceful as those listed on our I-Learn English 704 website!
www.lynchburg.edu/writing-center/alton-l-wilmer-center/tutoring-strategies -- Fantastic primer on working 1-on-1, including the importance of reading body language and how to handle "difficult" tutees (irresponsible, duplicitous, lazy).
www.etown.edu/offices/learning/module_one.aspx -- Like the Lynchburg site, this site is an embarrassment of riches for tutor tips.
