Giving children a voice. Tips for tutors:
1.Preparation.
First find about the student and their problem before the first lesson. Confirm the subject and topics they need help with and syllabus. Remember to ask them to bring all relevant course materials such as textbooks to the first tutoring lesson so that you can work out together.Remember to agree a firm date, time and location. If possible call a dat before just to confirm. It doesn't hurt.
2.Create the right environment.
Arrange for a quiet place for your lesson, somewhere with no distractions. You need to be able to sit alongside the student. Remember to bring all of the teaching materials you need. Carry extra relevant materials incase the student doesn't come with them.
3. Be comfortable with the student.
Start off by introducing yourself. Tell them about your background and explain why you love your subject. Be professional and friendly, and remember to remind them that you are there to help them that you are there to help. This makes the student to be at ease. Get them to tell you something about themselves, maybe their families or things that they like and enjoy outside of school.
