Tutoring, whether it is traditional or online, is slowly
experiencing an increase in demand. A
lot of parents are already hiring tutors for their kids, it is all because of
continuing increase in academic demands.
There are more students inside a classroom and teachers are finding it
difficult to help all of the students.
Busy and working parents, find it more convenient to enrol
their children in post-school tutoring whether it is traditional and
face-to-face or in the more flexible online tutoring. Other parents would prefer to tutor their own
kids.
Whether you have professional tutors or doing some tutoring
of your own, they all seem to agree that teaching kids can be challenging
sometimes. What are some tutoring tips
that you can use to make tutoring your own kids or other people’s children
easier?
• Build rapport and communication.
Children are already inside classrooms and listening to
teachers most of their day, the least that they would need is somebody who
would meet them after class and sound like their classroom teacher. The clear difference is, tutoring is not
classroom instruction. Tutoring is a
positive reinforcement of what children learned inside the school.
Aside from teaching and discussing lectures, you would also
need to give an ear to the children. How
would you know where exactly they are having problems, if you do not even
bother listen to them? It would be great
if children would be able to ask you questions, make mistakes and correct them
in a relaxed manner. Children find it
easier to open up once they realized that their tutor is actually somebody they
could talk to and not somebody who would intimidate them.
