A reply is a response to an initiation. The two most important considerations in replying effectively are:

a) To focus on underlying strategies (We discussed these in tutor cycles, steps 4 & 8.)

b) To avoid explaining too much.

Thorough explanations make the tutee more dependent on you. Remember that you want to promote independence.

Take the following situation:
