I had several part-time tutoring experience in both Chinese and mathematics with primary school children. As the oldest in my family, I had been the mentor for my siblings as well as younger cousins.
Clear communication is vital in building rapport with students and parents. Parents would have to communicate what results they hope the tuition would derive. Trust from parents would also make the tuition process smoother. I would try to tailor the tuition to fit the student's learning style so that it would be easier to capture their interest in the subject.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
There are various textbooks and assessments books updated with the current curriculum in various bookstores. I would go to the bookstores and keep myself updated with the curriculum before I start the lessons.
As a Good Tutor
As a good tutor, it is necessary to tailor the tuition to fit both the parents' and student's needs.
