Commitment / Other Details
Will be able to start asap, for at least 1 to 2 months.
Rapport Building
Get to understand the parent and child first, befriend the child and talk to the parents afterwards. Am looking to be better in this field too.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I'ld appreciate if tutee could send a copy of the curriculum that their school has, so that I'll be able to prepare and sync with the child.
As a Good Tutor
I think ultimately, it boils down to understanding how the child thinks and feel. There's a need to cater to the child's emotional needs before he/she will be willing to listen to you. Thereafter, it's about understanding how the child thinks and reasons, to slowly guide him/her.

It's also about understanding the parents and how they're like, as how they bring the child up will have an effect on how the child learns. There needs to be a strong partnership between tutor and parent, for best results for the child.
