5 Tips for both Parents and Tutors
The first moments for any new tutoring assignment can be a nervy affair, for both parent and tutor, and more importantly the tutee! Parents who have never had a tutor before are often understandably anxious. They are usually thinking months ahead to the dreaded exams, and sometimes these worries transfer over to the tutee and even the tutor if they aren’t careful, which can create a stressful environment not conducive to learning.
However, things needn’t be like this. So, with the benefit of my decade or so of tutoring, allow me to share some things I’ve learned; tips for parents and tutors alike to make sure that first lesson just breezes by.
If you follow these tips, you will almost certainly have a better first session than not. Of course, nothing is guaranteed… I once tutored a young boy whose parents insisted that we have the lesson outside (despite it being freezing), and sat with us the whole time. They even chipped in and answered some of the questions I asked the boy! It takes all sorts, I suppose, but if that happens to you too make sure it isn’t snowing!
