Summary : 1. You don't have to be the know it all in the room 2. Don't dump too much info right away, wait for student to actually understand 3. Don't bombard them with knowledge , support them
I never ask students about their lives, that's not what they pay me for. I ask them what they have been learning in school it is far more relevant. I teach them techniques to make their lives easier and their grades higher and that is what they are paying me for.
This is very good advice. Info dump is not the way to go during the first session. I had to learn this the hard way after seeing students' eyes glaze over.
I just started tutoring. In my experience when I came to my first student, I was already thinking of dropping it because I was already intimidated by the idea of tutoring. But when we started out, I focus more on his habits and my habits and just get to know him better and also presented him perspectives on how to get things by. It was not that difficult as I thought it would be. Maybe some tutors trying to dump all their knowledge to their student because they thought that is their purpose but connection and empathy is I think what is more important.
I see lots of people asking for more information and not as many people answering. I'm starting official tutoring soon, but I have been a personal tutor before and I've taught in a classroom. When you're struggling in a class and the teacher sits down and works with you individually, that's tutoring. When that experience is outside the classroom, you have to build your teacher-student relationship IN the session, the timeframe is way shorter. If you l like teachers who are impersonal and objective, you can be that way. If you like teachers who share a little bit about their lives, you should do that, instead. I personally prefer the latter, because it encourages the student to open up to you. Your student should feel safe and comfortable with you so they can MAKE MISTAKES. That's the goal. If they're afraid of making mistakes, they're going to be afraid of performing in front of you. Performing math, literary analysis, coding, whatever. The student should understand you are there to HELP and SUPPORT them to success, no matter what. You're not going to judge them. You're not going to make them feel self conscious or left behind, because when YOU teach/tutor them, you CAN'T leave them behind! It's your job to shore up any gaps in their knowledge! To learn is to grow, and growing is scary and painful at times. You should make your students feel safe. Info dumping - IT DEPENDS!! I've taught a student with autism, and he was labeled 'gifted in math', and he WAS. He is so smart. But because of how his brain works, he likes to know every little detail of how the math works, so I info dump on him because that helps his understanding. Sometimes I info dump on myself, if the students seem interested. Such as places I've lived or my time in the military. You are an example of an adult to your students. You can show them that a variety of adults exist by being yourself.
@@Hanyunaa22do you work for a company or for yourself? If so how do you get more clients??? I work by myself and only have 1 client so far, I just started, please help
@@yasinrezaei2119 ohh i work for a company! Though i recommend working with one client first since you’re just starting. once you’re seeing results, you can use your first client as kind of like a proof that you’re a good tutor :)) good luck!

Hello I will start tutoring two kids from next month. Any advice what to concentrate on for the UK primary level. I have to tutor basic English for six months. Any 6 months plan you can recommend
totally disagree with building a personal relationship with the student, a tutor is not a life therapist, and on a different note, all the extra noises that comes on watching the post, is annoying ,
watching this 3 hours before i tutor my first student LMFAO.
SAME!!! 😬😬
1 Hour here, how’d it go?
I swear 15 mins lol
1 minuet here
Same

@@portreemathstutor I agree

wish more tutors would be aware of this lol, I can't even count the times I zoned out during boring tutoring sessions

Hello I will start tutoring two kids from next month. Any advice what to concentrate on for the UK primary level. I have to tutor basic English for six months. Any 6 months plan you can recommend
How did it go? What experience did you gain? What advice would you have given yourself when starting out?
How did it go? I want to tutor some kids at that age and I feel like I could help in English
Watching it 12h before i tutor my first student 😭
Here before one day before tutoring my first Student
Can a class 9 student be a tutor??
I really need some opinion regarding this
Can i join your company as a job
first class today. eek.
Tutoring someone next week most likely
good luck!
@@LisaTran thank you so much
@@kurapika4860 I know it's been a while lol but how did the first session go?
Tldr; You need to be an expert. Don't Knowledge dump. Build a relationship.
Tutoring someone tomorrow
I'm scared
You think they finna hire me for like 10 dollars an hour
Don’t sell yourself short. Also think about what people would think if a tutor was 10 bucks an hour. Probably a crappy tutor.
iam watching this when I've tutored them for a year lol💀🤡
