Need some tips on giving tuition

jaydunkfull SG

hello

i just received a tuition assignment to give english tuition to a P3 atudent. i have no experience, so was wondering if anyone can share some tips on how i should go about helping this student?

i was thinking of tackling these few areas. Grammar, Vocab, Essay Writing and compre. do p3 students do spelling? shall i get assessment books and do them with him/her? im not very sure how i should go about. get him/her to do assessment books? then go through? discussion? shal i get her/him to keep an exercise book???

any tips??

go bookshop, buy the relevant books, give him/her do.

Hi,

Hold on to your purse, because you do not have complete information yet.

During the first meeting with the student, ask him/her to tell you learning difficulties and show you some of the work he/she has done in school. Have him/her to show you test/exam papers so that you have a better picture of how the child is doing in school. Have a word with his/her parents to understand his/her personality too. Establish a good rapport with the student before you begin to work with him/her. Have him/her to set goals for lessons with you as you move along.

Hope these pointers help you to kick-start :)

Cheers,
Wen Shih

Primary 3 is the year they placed more emphasis on Writing

Talk to the parent on how the child fared during the last exams

do not be eager to buy assessment book

always try to establish rapport with the student first

test the child in reading , writing a short journal and conversation ..from there you will know what he needs

I do have tuition agency.if interested to register with me ..please pm me
