There are two
ways to become involved
with a tutor.
1.
You ask for one
There are many
reasons why students ask
for a tutor. The
most successful learning
outcomes result from
these arrangements.
The student is aware,
engaged and actively involved
in their own betterment.
Performance can improve
quite rapidly. The
student realizes they
need an expert in
a particular area and
take full advantage of
the tutor.
2.
A tutor is organised for
you
If a tutor is
being organized for you,
everyone will benefit by
the manner in which you
approach this
opportunity.
Some students
feel people will think
they are less capable
because they have a
tutor. Others think
it will erode their
freedom.
The truth is,
many high achieving
students actually request
tutors because they
realize the benefits
a tutor can bring.
There is no greater
'buzz' than seeing your
results move up. Higher
marks usually lead to
greater commitment
and this in turn leads to
that feeling of success
we all desire.
It can be very
confronting to be told
you are to have a tutor.
Consider the positives
and the reasons behind
these arrangements.
Having a tutor can be a
real status symbol.
It is almost always a
better experience than
most students initially
think. Be positive
and approach the
arrangement with an open
mind.
Thousands of
children are currently
being tutored for a
variety of reasons:
-
Some basic
skills need to be
re-taught or shown
correctly in the first
place.
-
A learning
disability poses a
challenge.
-
Underdeveloped
organizational skills
can result in
difficulty with keeping
on schedule with
studying and completing
assignments.
-
Others simply
desire to get ahead.
Whatever the
reason, tutors can both
reinforce subjects or
skills, as well as teach
students how to work independently
or perform at a higher
level. Students often
become more self-confident
after working with a
tutor. Tutors help organize
your learning.

How
to Safely
Meet Tutors
Make
sure that you speak with
your tutor on the
telephone before your
first session. Since you
are finding him/her
online, you want to make
sure that he/she is a
legitimate tutor. Do not
be afraid to ask your
tutor questions about
himself/herself and
his/her qualifications
and even for proof of
certain accomplishments.
You are going to be
paying this person money
to help you so you have
the right to question
his/her abilities. Do not
rely on email to schedule
your tutoring sessions.
Miscommunications are
bound to occur if this is
your only means of
contact.
Since you do not know
your tutor on a personal
basis, tutoring sessions
should be held in a
public area, such as a
public library or the
library at your school.
You may want to have a
parent or friend come
with you to the first
session to make sure you
are in good hands. If you
are not comfortable with
you tutor for any reason,
don't hesitate to tell
him/her and try to
improve the situation.
There is no reason for
you to continue paying
for tutoring when you are
not able to fully
concentrate on your
material.
