My secondary school students were able to get a B4 in their end year exams which they were previously failing.

Rapport Building: I usually like to speak to parents to find out their expectations and what they would like their child to achieve at the end of the lesson / school terms. I then repeat this with the child and try to come up with a short term and long term goals for the child. In terms of understanding the child in where they stand subject-wise, i would get the child to explain concepts to me or find out where they are struggling and focus in their weak areas. Worksheets and assessments books will be used to enhance the learning of the child. Sometimes, I do come up with simple activities and hands-on practices for the children as this enhances their learning and helps them to be involved in setting of questions which they will be able to understand as they gave their inputs in it.

Keeping Up with Curriculum: I have friends who are teachers and I keep myself updated with the syllabus by asking whether the syllabus is any different from the previous year. Sometimes, I visit the stores and browse through the assessment books and textbooks to see what changes there are in the question styles and teaching methods.

As a Good Tutor: A good tutor understands where the child needs help and focuses on the areas for development.
It is also important that the child understands the concept skills taught in school and to provide simple and easy-to-remember ways to deal with skills to enhance their learning.
A good tutor does not only depend on assessment books and worksheets to improve the child's learning.
Grades although important should be the only target for the child. Their understanding is more important.
