Describe how you would make sure your student is getting the right amount of tutoring for their goals?
🢧
Tell him to attempt all the questions that he can.
🢧
If there is a problem he cannot solve then remind him to stair it.
🢧
He can call me for help but he must make a genuine attempt at the problem. He can also get a friend or teacher to help him out with the problem. 🢧
I will offer him hints, clues, and reminders of what skills I have taught him in our previous lessons.
🢧
If he struggles, then I will go through the solution in color, and after this, I will give him a similar one.
🢧
The problem is to ensure he knows how to approach that particular problem, the required techniques to use.
