A common question is how can I be a good tutor? Chances are if you are asking this question then you already are on your way! To be a good tutor all you need is patience, kindness and the ability to listen. Also knowledge in your subject matter is key!
A good place to start when working with a new student is to ask them questions about where they are struggling, what do they find the most difficult. On the flip side, ask them what subjects they do like and find easier – it may be that your approach in teaching them can be geared towards subjects they find easier. For example if you are tutoring a language and the student excels in math, you can approach learning grammar structures more like a math problem instead of making it more language based.
Most important is to remember to have fun – students will want to come back if they find your sessions helpful as well as enjoyable.
