This article is about the best method for making sure that a student succeeds in math and advantages from the tutoring knowledge. The most important thing for the tutor to remember is that, while the parent may be paying the bill, it is the student who is the main client. The student’s needs may sometimes be at chances with what the parent look on as the best approach to getting a better grade. The tutor’s focus should always remain on the student.

My strategy is a “two step” approach:

Step 1:

Irrespective of how poorly a student is presently performing in class, I always instantly start each new client by teaching the student ahead of the class. In other words, I teach the work material which the student has not yet been taught by the teacher. Why? Because one of the largest issues with most students is that they are lost in class. They do not understand the material which is being introduced to them by the teacher, and they are reluctant to raise their hand due to concerns about how they will look in the eyes of their classmates. Their natural fear is that they will look idiotic and that they are going to be the only ones who do not understand the material.

The way to conquer this fear and build up the students’ confidence is for them to listen to the material first from me in the privacy and safety of their own residence. Here they can freely express their thoughts on whether they understand the material without fear of looking bad in the eyes of their classmates. I also have the student demonstrate their proficiency by doing issues in front of me, so that I can be sure they understand what I am teaching them.

The power of this approach is that when the student then listen the material from their teacher, they are already well-known about it. This yields two very important advantages. The classroom understanding is now a positive one instead of a negative one. The student develops more confidence and less anxiety about attending class. Most importantly, the teacher now becomes my ally in teaching the student new concepts. Now I do not have to play “catch up” by trying to teach material that the student has already listened in class, but did not understand. Instead, the teacher reinforces concepts that the student has already learned from me. Read the rest of this entry »
