Be Well Organized

Reference materials highlighting each chapter's key points and essential context should be prepared ahead of time for use in your classroom. You can demonstrate your knowledge by drawing mind maps or writing it out in bullet points.

Either record yourself or run through some practise scenarios with close friends and/or family. Using this strategy, you can identify your strengths and areas for growth as a tutor.

TUTORING TECHNIQUES

Teaching strategies for effective student learning.

For you to know what method of teaching you need to implement for your students, you must know what kind of students you are dealing with.

Tutorial Video
Active Student

The typical behaviour of students who fall into this category is to participate very actively in class discussions and to always respond by asking and answering questions. They exude an upbeat and optimistic attitude in addition to their high levels of energy.

Passive Student

Passive students learn independently and don’t put much effort into their academic performance. They are typically pessimistic and may be resistant to education. You, as a tutor, should pay closer attention to this student and keep tabs on their development. Don’t hold them to unrealistic standards, but do encourage them constantly.

Pedagogy is the art and practice of teaching, especially as an academic subject or theoretical concept. This tutorial will give you more explanation on a few pedagogy methods and their benefits!

METHOD 1

Pausing for Effect

A pause can help your listeners figure out when one phrase, sentence, or paragraph ends and when the next starts. Your students can only absorb certain information at a time. Taking a break allows them to keep up with you! Finally, pausing gives your audience time to think about what you’re saying and start making connections with their own experiences or knowledge.

METHOD 2

Transitioning

A transition is a break from formal learning sessions where you can play songs or games with your students. This will help you to keep disruptions and behavioural problems to a minimum, maximize instructional time, and keep the learning environment as good as possible for your students.

STEP 3

Chunking

People use the term “chunks” to refer to how they organize different pieces of information. Chunking is the practice of breaking up chapters into shorter, bite-size pieces that are more manageable and easier to remember. This method accommodates working memory, prioritizes the information you’re presenting and is organised and straightforward.

PLAN YOUR LESSON

Tutoring lesson plan.

A lesson plan is a tutor’s daily guide for what students need to learn, how it will be taught, and how learning will be measured. Why does every tutor need to have a lesson plan?

To know what to teach by looking at the previous lesson

A lesson plan is needed to ensure every detail of the session is on track, and it will also make it easier for you to start a new session with your student.

To set the objective of the class and expect an outcome

List down all the objectives prior to class and don’t forget to focus on what outcome you are expecting from every session.

The content of the syllabus can be delivered in a systematic process

Being systematic can let you manage time wisely throughout the tutoring session by only focusing on whatever you have planned for each session.

Tutor can evaluate students' understanding of the lesson

By preparing a lesson plan, you can track your students’ records from the beginning and at the same time provide evaluation to improve their performances.

For further references

You may have new students in the future, and a complete lesson plan can be referred to easily if you consistently update the progress of your students.

KNOW WHERE TO START

Student assessment.

A tutor’s job is to make sure that the goals of education are being met. Assessment is the most important part of this job. Assessments can change your students’ grades.

Assessment can be done with pop quizzes, games, and short assignments. You can make tests of any kind to help your students remember what they learned and make sure they understand everything you have taught them. Assessment can speed up their responses and make them remember important points. It can also make your tutoring sessions more interesting and help them prepare for a bigger test or exam.
