TIPS FOR TUTORS

• Students may need many practice exercises.

• Repetition drills are valuable for helping students memorise necessary facts, eg spelling and mathematic tables.

• Review previous lessons.

• Make sure students fully understand the concepts you have been explaining before going on to the next concept.

• Never embarrass students by asking them to perform tasks for which they are not prepared.

• Teach at the student’s level.

• Explain the lesson clearly and simply.

• If the student finds the material difficult, break it down. Explain it, step by step, and check with the student to make sure each step is understood.

• Use language that can be understood by the student: avoid difficult words.

• Plan your lesson; have attainable goals.

• Praise student for each task achieved.
