DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
Introductory subject template:
General guide for the first time your meeting students irrespective of subject:
- Introduce yourselves: where you studied, where you’re from, what you are currently studying, hobbies etc.
- Really focus on creating an atmosphere where students feel welcome and not intimidated (or dumb) when they ask questions.
- Try and find out why your students are struggling with their subjects and try to connect with them on this front.
More specifically academically focused questions:
- Ask what topics students are currently studying in the relevant subject you’re tutoring.
- Try to identify common misconceptions/problems/gaps of knowledge with respect to the relevant subject.
Final remarks:
Note that meeting your students and understanding their needs, how they work, and getting them to trust you is a slow process and don’t be disheartened if it takes a while for them to warm up to you .
