Tutor Tips - Top Ten Tutoring Tips
In one-to-one tutoring, behave as a friend or classmate
who has been asked to help.
Informality does not mean disorganization. Have a clear
purpose and plan of action.
Two important ingredients in tutoring: a) Tutor Empathy--feeling
for the student’s difficulty; and b) Tutor Knowledge
of Subject-- tutor must be able to explain in terms the
student can understand. If you don’t know, admit it.
The student will also feel comfortable admitting his/her
deficiencies.
Discourage student passivity. Encourage active learning.
Have the student involved in learning. If you were the teacher,
what would be the important subjects to be taught?
Be prepared to provide the “important stuff.”
The student has the right to expect direction when he/she
receives tutoring.
Present the material in small units. Check and recheck
learning. Don’t just ask, “Do you understand?”
See or hear that they do! Don’t rush the student.
Be flexible. No one style of tutoring fits all situations.
Be specific when making assignments for the next session.
Don't do the students’ work for them. Allow for
failure and learning to take place. The goal is independent
learning.
Visit with professors when necessary.
