List of Tutoring Do's & Don'ts
Do's:
1. You want to have a positive welcoming when meeting the student and BE ON TIME!
(Greet the student nicely, smile and maintain good eye contact)
2. Arrange the tutoring area( clean area)
Have the student to be comfortable
Have student to be focused
3.Be positive and encouraging with the student
4.Make sure student understands the assignment
5. As a tutor you need to keep in mind that not all students learn the same
way or at the same pace.
Don'ts
1. arriving late
2. Becoming friends with the student ( asking personal questions during the tutoring section)
3. Doing the work for the student. ( its not your ideas)
4. Being rude to the student you are working with.
I agree with your Do's and Don't because being a good tutor requires all of the above, especially being positive, encouraging the student and keeping in mind that not all students learn the same way. Most of the times certain tutors expect students to understand and learn the same way other students do but, it is important to know that there are going to be students that understand better than others and some that might need a little extra help. In the other hand, being a bad tutor is doing the work for the student, i agree with you because in this case the student will not learn and they will keep having the same issue no matter how many times he/she visits a tutor. Therefore, i agree with your Do's and Don't you pointed out the main key of what being a good and bad tutor is.
ReplyDeleteI think your list is a good start, but it's awfully short! This was supposed to be an exhaustive list based on all your observations AND what we've read AND the videos we watched. I think you should post a new list, in a whole separate post, that does a better job. Call it "Dos and Donts (revised)." Feel free to look at what your classmates wrote for this one, if you need ideas/inspiration!
