Teachers can also use the form of tutorials when giving feedback to individual students. This offers privacy and space to say things which do not need to be exposed to the public. This is especially useful in certain periods when teachers and students can talk about their learning journey, strengths and weaknesses, possible adjustments etc. It is important to have some evidence so that the feedback can be as specific as possible and end on a positive note, possibly with some action plan suggested to the learner.
