The following are some useful ideas you can employ when Tutoring :
Preparation - Know what you are going to teach before you teach it. Spend time in preparation and reading before the tutoring session. Make it a goal to learn something new for yourself each lesson. Try a different approach from time to time.
Being Positive - A positive, optimistic outlook that no matter how bad or how good a students academic situation is, that it can be improved or made better through your help.
Enthusiasm - Always remain passionate about your subject and hopefully this will pass on to your student!
Open mindedness - Although you are the teacher, you also have your blind spots. There are also other points of view and better learning methods you can employ.. Keep an open mind and you'll learn from any situation - even from your own students.
Dependability - Nothing speaks louder, and builds more trust and confidence in your students than when you are reliable. Don't make false promises . People have expectations, and when you are able to confirm what you say you are been reliable.
