Maths tutoring - Past work

To bring the subject some significant context, I think it would work to start a topic by first reviewing its value. Then I would certainly go through some simple examples. I have to stress that there are no silly questions, anything to aid a student's understanding is vital. After I have actually gone through a few examples, I want to have the student gone through their own example, talking to me pretending they were the tutor and I was the student.

Numerous studies have actually shown that trying to discuss an idea you have actually a while ago found out aids greatly in remembering as well as understanding. If I'm satisfied with their training, I would love to examine their critical thinking by setting an issue based upon everything found out in the lesson, however with refined modifications that call for the tutee to proactively engage with the work, instead of be on "autopilot".

Home assignment will be set on the topic reviewed (nothing extra extreme), and also better lessons will be spent responding to exam-styled questions before proceeding to the next topic.

During sessions I wish to encourage a fairly informal, pleasant atmosphere. I have fun mentor, and I wish students have fun in my training sessions, and a relaxed mind is much better at learning.
