Tutoring
Tips - First Impressions
|
1. Introduce yourself and get to know the student. Don't start tutoring straight away. Find out about the student, what they dislike and their strengths and weaknesses. Ask questions that the student would like to answer and not the closed-ended 'Yes and No' type of question. 2. Give your name on a card, so the student can remember and spell it. Include your telephone number. 3. Begin tutoring where you know that you are providing work which the student is happy with. At whatever level you begin, you may need to adjust as you learn more about the student's level. Listening to the student is more important than lecturing. 4. Start on some easy recap of the subject. Do the first
problem or some examples with the student. Work through the more
difficult areas as they arise. 5.Constantly monitor the student's understanding of the subject. Does she or he have the necessary skills to do the work assigned? Make sure that you note down anything for a later discussion with the parent. 6. Look at the body language - this can give a great
deal away on how the student feels. Often students let you know
in subtle ways what they are thinking, how they feel and whether
they understand. 8. Be creative and imaginative in your tutoring methods.
Look for ways to motivate and involve the student. Think of the
fun role-playing or investigative framework. |
