tutoring tips!!??

A tutor main purposes is to replace a teacher when not able to assist students. No parents will be present. Its like you're in charge. You introduce yourself. You ask the student what areas of Algebra they're having problems with. You make an outline of study habits for them to use when they go back home. You give them examples to where they will understand when the Teacher is explaining it to the class. Its more like a travel guide in math. Before you begin you may want to do a small assessment test. See how far back this student is with algebra. Some may say they understand it but they don't. All you do is keep them interested to want to learn and pass algebra.

1. Get to know your student first. Once the rapport is established, the rest will follow smoothly.

2. Be sincere to want to help. Find out the student's problem areas and work with her closely, based on her learning style and ability.
