Being Tutor

Well, because my education background is from pedagogy,  no wonder is my working experience in my career and my working at home is as teacher or tutor. If you want to be a tutor, first you decide, which subject you want to teach. In order to be a good teacher you must first have a good understanding of the subject you are teaching. 

These are some steps to develop yourself as a tutor :

  1. Develop some expertise in the subject area you wish to teach/tutor.I myself is from a reputable pedagogy higher education. Some parents would like to know my education background. But, if you don't have, don't worry, there are some other ways to prove your capability.
  2. Try to attain some kind of recognized qualification in that subject. I myself finish my education, so I have some certificates for that. If you did not enter the higher education like I did. Try to look for other qualification.
  3. If you want to tutor school children there may be rules and laws concerning this in your country/area.
  4. Make sure you know and understand the curriculum or syllabus you are going to teach.Sure, you need not to create your own curriculum. First it's a bit difficult. Second, it's useless, because we have to follow the curriculum our students.
  5. Prepare your lessons and practice them. Be very well organized at first. It is better to be over prepared than to run dry half way through a session. In this step, you have to know, in which level is your students, otherwise you waste your time to prepare the teaching materials, and find out that your students have already learned about that.
  6. Make your lessons interesting and interactive. In a good lesson the students will do much of the work.
  7. Listen to your students; respond to what they know or don't understand. You are there to help them.
