First, communicate with children about their wishes for tutoring.

Nowadays, most children are very opinionated, so you must say hello to your children before asking for a tutor. If the child really doesn't want to hire a teacher, forget it. Even if you do, it will be a waste of effort if the child is not eager to learn. If children are willing to hire teachers, at least they will not resist and are willing to cooperate, which is the basis for achieving results.

Second, know your own situation.

(A) to understand the bottleneck of children's learning

Some parents and friends choose remedial classes or tutors for their children without pertinence, and do not fully consider their children's academic characteristics, grade characteristics, performance characteristics and family characteristics. Therefore, they often can't meet their real needs.

1, subject characteristics

Pay attention to the importance of discipline arrangement. Important subjects should be supplemented with emphasis, subjects with poor grades should be supplemented with emphasis, and the make-up time should be arranged longer. Minor subjects have less time, or even no need to make up. If it is for the exam, just ask the teacher to give a hint before the exam. Subjects with poor grades also need less time.

If multiple subjects need counseling, parents and friends need to consider whether to ask a single subject teacher to tutor alone or a general subject teacher to tutor together. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, which need to be determined according to their own situation.

2. Grade characteristics

If it is a key grade in junior high school or junior high school, parents have invited non-professional tutors for their children (students who are about to graduate need to seize the test sites more, and non-professional tutors are really insufficient). As a result, you saved money, but the result may be worse-the teacher worked hard and the children didn't make progress. But if it is other grades, you can invite different types of tutors, as long as it is suitable.

Junior primary school students ask for tutors, and generally recommend female teachers; Please ask a science tutor for grade three and above, and generally recommend a male teacher.

3. Operating characteristics

Students of different grades are also very particular about whether they have a tutor. We are divided into five stages according to our grades: excellent, good, average, passing and failing. For example, students who fail should pay more attention to the teacher's patience, responsibility and communication skills when looking for a tutor. Comparatively speaking, gifted students will find it more difficult to find a tutor and need a higher level of ability. It is recommended to choose excellent professional teachers.

4. Family characteristics

Every family has its own characteristics: families with parents in different places, families with busy parents, families with uneducated parents, families with only children at home during tutoring time, families with few children at home and so on.

Therefore, hiring a tutor is not comparable and imitative. You need to choose the right tutor according to your actual situation.

(B) to understand the child's personality characteristics

Some children are introverted. If you still invite an introverted tutor, the learning atmosphere will be dull and the children will not be interested. Some children are naughty and hyperactive. The little emperor and princess at home can ask a strict tutor who can control the children, correct and restrain their behavior mistakes and create a teaching atmosphere. Some children procrastinate and find a tutor who can do things neatly. Some children are sloppy, find a thoughtful tutor to influence them, and so on.

(3) Understand children's preferences for teachers. Preference here refers to what kind of teachers are more acceptable to children, such as teaching methods, gender, age, personality and so on. We often find that some children like a class because they like a teacher, and ignore a class because they hate a teacher, which is why parents should be advised to ask their children about their preferences for teachers in advance.

Third, choose the appropriate consultation form.

One-on-one or one-to-many Not necessarily. Whether one-to-one or one-to-many is good or bad is inconclusive.

Generally speaking, since it is a tutor, it is better to have a one-on-one way. Because this way, different teaching methods can be adopted according to different students, and students' understanding of knowledge and students' feedback to teachers' teaching can be grasped in time.

But for some students, the form of one-to-many (such as one-to-two or one-to-three) is also effective, because several people can help each other and improve each other when studying together. Of course, it is not advisable to use too many people like this.

Fourth, it is very important to check the trial lectures.

Parents can't wait for three or four classes before deciding whether to take them, which will have a great impact on their children's learning and is unfair to their tutors.

Parents can spend some time listening nearby; You can also communicate with the teacher before or after the trial; Or ask your child after the exam. It is not recommended to sit directly with children in class here, which is inappropriate and will affect teaching. Try to check the following points in class:

1, whether the lesson preparation is sufficient (sense of responsibility)

2. Did the class go smoothly (familiarity)

3. Systematization of interpretation (completeness)

Five, determine the counseling matters and discuss the teaching plan.

Counseling has many details, which need parents and teachers to discuss in advance, so that teachers can let go of their burdens and give full guidance. For example, the length of each counseling session, the starting and ending time of class, the number of counseling sessions per week, the hourly counseling price or monthly counseling fee, the time and method of payment of counseling fees, the concerns and goals of parents and friends, matters needing attention and special matters, and so on.

Teachers should make appropriate teaching plans according to the children's situation, not necessarily in writing, but they must keep them in mind and don't let students make it clear by mistake. The teaching plan is not immutable, and teachers should constantly pay attention to the subtle changes and progress of children, as well as their physical and emotional conditions, so as to constantly adjust.

Matters needing attention

1. The key to finding a tutor is whether you have found a suitable teacher. High-priced teachers, famous teachers, school teachers or class teachers are not necessarily suitable for children.

2. Teachers' teaching level is different, but don't ignore teaching attitude. If teachers give 120% enthusiasm to tutor their students, then I believe that students' academic performance will be "absolutely" improved, because this is in line with the law of things.

3. Don't make up lessons in all subjects too tightly, and don't make up too much at one time. Give your child some rest time, teach face to face, and be highly focused and tired.

4. Is a male teacher better or a female teacher? Not necessarily. Whether a male teacher is good or a female teacher is bad is inconclusive. According to our experience, female teachers are relatively patient and meticulous, and liberal arts are better than male teachers, but male teachers are more active in thinking and learning methods, and male teachers are better at science than female teachers. Of course, sometimes it is necessary to decide whether to use a male teacher or a female teacher according to the gender of the students.

5. Whether a teacher can have a good relationship with parents is also a factor to be considered. Hiring a tutor is a long process, not a day or two. If the two sides communicate smoothly and get along well, they can establish the foundation of trust and cooperation.
