A Successful Tutoring Session
The key to a successful tutoring session starts with a tutor who is warm
and inviting to their student. The student has feel comfortable around
you, smile often and crack jokes to break the ice, if you sense the
student is shy or nervous. Introduce yourself politely keep the small
talk to a minimum because the time in a tutoring session is limited. Ask
the student some self assessment questions like what are your strengths
and weaknesses as a writer? This allows you to get an idea of what you
need to help the student with in their writer. Be an active listener,
you out have to listen to all the ideas your student has for the paper
they want to write. Then you have to format their ideas the way the
teacher wants for the paper. The tutor has to have a professional
attitude and plenty of patience some people need lots of help due to
language barriers so be mindful.
A good tutor prompts their students by guiding them in the right
direction. Never just give the student the answer try your best to let
them find it I out on their own. One way to prompt students to find
their own mistakes is have them read their paper out loud. This helps
ideas to collaborate between the tutor and student, organization of
ideas, editing grammatical mistakes and make sure the paper has a nice
flow. When critiquing a student's paper it is important for every
negative comment you make about a students find something positive that
they did. Discouraging students writing will not inspire them to write
they will doubt their writing abilities.
