Rapport Building
I usually spend the first lesson getting to know my students a bit better. I will spend the time in the lesson going through a subject that the student has had difficulty with in the past. I am then able to guage the strengths and weaknesses of the student. I will then have a discussion with the parents to inform them of my strategy in helping the student.
Throughout the course of the lessons I will give the parents regular updates on the progress of the student. I will also keep them updated on any homework assignments I may provide. I believe that building the confidence of the students is the key to helping them achieve better grades.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I will form a schedule for the students to make sure that they are able to complete the subjects required for their exams. I will regularly check with my student what they have learnt in school for the week and make sure that I am on pace with the syllabus. I will often move ahead of the pace of the classes in school so as to allow more time for topics the student is having difficulty with. I believe in a structured lesson with sufficient practice and application are the keys to improvement.
As a Good Tutor
I think the most important traits for a tutor are patience and an ability to build trust with their students. The tutor needs to be patient so as to allow the student to learn at a pace comfortable with him without discouraging him. Rapport building is important as a student who does not look forward to his lessons with his tutor would feel less interested in learning.
