...quizzes that the tutor won't be present for. For this to happen, sometimes explicit instruction is necessary, but more often than not, the best thing for the tutor to do is to allow the student to work as they would normally, and then address mistakes or other problems as they occur. I feel that my education and past experience as a teacher have equipped me with the tools necessary to be a fantastic tutor in...

...these are and molding the content around them is the key to good teaching. Helping students to see and to use their own strengths is the least mentioned part of the equation, but for me it is the most important, because that is how I get my kids to become autonomous and self-motivated learners.

I tutor middle and high school students, and I also have some teaching experience with elementary school grades. I believe a solid understanding of grammar, syntax and spelling is important when learning any language; but at the same time, I always complement the theoretical part with practical examples, using various kinds of media, including books, articles, videos, and experiences from my own life.

The main point is that they need frequent guided reading and the teacher needs to closely analyze what the student is getting hung up on.

I've always been a good test-taker and I know what it takes to get the grades. I know that it...
