Maybe have a tutor training session. You could get together with other teachers and invite all of the tutors, volunteers, teacher assistants, and any regular substitutes. You could then model and teach them how you teach, what they can do to help, and the reasons why. The math teacher in fourth grade did this last year to teach everyone how she wanted them to have the students work out word problems and to get everyone to use the same vocabulary. This way, you won't have to single your TA out.
