Know your stuff !!

In addition to being prepared with the appropriate and needed materials for your tutoring session.I suggest that you review the lessons that you intend on teaching for the next session.Take the time to research rules or topics that you have little or no knowledge about. This habit has helped me a great deal, as a result I am not caught off guard during teaching.

A few tutoring tips

Well ,today was my first day tutoring and I was completely nervous, but so far so good. I have two students who understand a little English , they are able to read ,so that has helped to make teaching a bit easier; a long with the fact that we have chosen to use a book that the students and I are comfortable with .


Some important things that one must note when tutoring ;whether it be at home or another location is to ensure the chosen site is conducive for learning. Ensure that the environment is clean , safe and free of distractions. Also , it is important for you to have the needed materials readily available , such as books , a chalkboard , markers . pens and other items that may be needed during teaching. Be organized and always be prepared !
