While Tutoring On Line, or in a Tutoring Hall, follow a few Basic things that will Enable You to Provide a Better & Effective Supplement to your Education. Firstly Connect Your Lessons to the Personal or Life-Experiences of your Students. Secondly, your Audience are Experienced People, with a Different Level of Education, Socio-Economic Status, Family & Social Back ground. Lastly, You can bring Learning, Closer to them by Associating it with their Experiences, Expertise & Exposure.
- If you are tutoring them On Line, Or in a Tutoring Centre, Encourage them to Actively Participate during your Presentation. Also fully involve them in Preparing for the Next Session, Using Methods of Collecting information & giving them Regular Home - Assignments.
- Be Conscious of that & Regularly get their Feedbacks. They would be Glad to give their Advices and Suggestions. Remember! Everyone likes to HEAR Something about their Progress & Improvement, from Others.
- Don’t get too much involved with their Personal Problems. Some times they would tend to Discuss their “Unresolved Personal Problems” with you. Bear in Mind that you are a Tutor & not a Trained Counsellor. For Personal Problems, you Should Refer them to the Professional Counsellors!
- There are times when the Students have Other Problems Besides their Education & Academic. As Tutors, We may not be Prepared to Address these kinds of Problems. Don’t hesitate to Refer them to other Professionals. Their Academic issues could be the Root –Cause of the Psychological & Mental Problems like Hyperactivity, inability to Concentrate & Poor Focus. But before you Refer them to other Professionals, make sure that this is the Real, Genuine Reason & not just Some Excuse to Escape to Handle & Treat The Difficult Students.
- The best Method would be to ‘Maintain Open Communication’ between Students & a Tutor, Provide a Friendly Atmosphere, so that a Student would be able to Communicate, Express & Progress in their Education without further Sacrificing a lot.
