[Corpora-List] Tutoring corpus

[Eric Atwell]

Scott,

You could try MICASE, Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English,
http://lw.lsa.umich.edu/eli/micase/index.htm
Or to browse/search online, http://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/micase/

You can choose subsets - http://lw.lsa.umich.edu/eli/micase/ATTRIB.html
  lists different types of "classroom event", eg I guess SEMINARS,
  ADVISING SESSIONS, TUTORIALS are what you want

I hope this helps
