How to become a good tutor?

Image
The best ways to tutor well are to practice good communication. I’ve worked with many tutors who are incredibly intelligent in the subjects they teach, but they don’t listen well enough to really understand how the student needs to learn. First off, teach socratically—you should be asking far more questions than you are making statements. Make sure to roll that back if the student really can’t progress forward without information, but your job as a tutor is to give the student tools to learn so they don’t depend on you. They need to gain the thought processes that lead them to the answer more than they need the answer. Secondly, even if it seems the student is incorrect, make an effort to figure out where they’re coming from. There’s a reason they thought the way they did, and it’s much easier to work with what the student already knows than to start from scratch. Teach them on their terms, not yours. Finally, try to build rapport with the student outside the subject matter.

Occasionally, parents may consider homeschool in combination with the home tutor, though here we try to focus on choosing between private and public school. In order to make sure that the right option has been chosen, the advantages and disadvantages of a private tutor and a private school need to be reviewed. Before comparing these two, a brief exploration of the differences between a private school and a state school sounds very helpful. Once this information is reviewed carefully, it will be easier to make a decision that suits both the child and the parents. Regardless of the residential area; there seems always to be the option of enrolling the child in a private school.
