The tutor needs to have then an understanding of the audience they are serving in order to maximise the learning opportunities further. What their general needs are likely to be and how the tutor can empathise with them to meet their needs. For example giving new students a tour of the facilities. It is important then to consider the individual student and their needs. Appropriate questions based around the application process can be useful in understanding individual needs and considering what efforts can be put in place to mitigate them.
If the tutor has prepared effectively they will then be in a position to present their course. This needs to begin in a way that establishes ground rules and fine tunes the course from the outset to the needs of the individual and collective group.
