Tips on being a good tutor

Be Punctual: You would not be glad if the student is late making you wait and you might be late for the next lesson or appointment. Likewise, try your best to be punctual. If you will be late due to unforeseen circumstances, do give the parent or student a call informing them.

Prompt, not Spoon-Feed: Do not tell the tutee answer straight away. Give them a chance to go through the thought process. If they have difficulty answering the questions, try to guide them with explanations.

Praise and Encourage: We have been that stage before when we got confused in simple sums during our academic years. Try not to criticize the tutees when they cannot understand your explanation. On the other hand, provide deserved praises and encouragement to give them more confidence.
