Parents generally pay more attention to the first class, mainly to see if students can accept this tutor, so the first class is more important. It is best to know the students' learning situation in detail first, and communicate with parents in advance, such as students' study habits, learning quality, what knowledge they have mastered, what they are studying at school now, whether they are willing to study, how their temper is, etc., and make full preparations to be targeted. If the foundation is poor, it is necessary to review the old knowledge and consolidate it with corresponding exercises; If you learn better, you can deepen the difficulty appropriately. But it is suggested that we should not only talk about exercises and knowledge points.
In fact, it is easier to communicate with students. The first and most important thing is to be patient. They may have talked about the exercises and contents many times, but they still can't remember them. At this time, they must not be angry. They should be calm, adopt various methods to teach and find a method that suits their study habits or way of thinking. Second, smile. Students like teachers who are cheerful every day, and they will be happy with them. After all, the tutor is not a teacher in class, so he doesn't have to be so far away from the students. Third, you should integrate the knowledge you have taught, so that you can explain it wonderfully. And it is easy for students of this age to despise teachers who can't answer questions. The exercise books issued by ordinary schools are enough. On the basis of understanding the students, we can make plans for them and cooperate with the exercises.
As for the cost, we must communicate with parents before the lecture, preferably not in front of students. To stick to your principles, I'll give you a suggestion: the price can't be reduced, but we can talk more appropriately. Don't lose face, you deserve it.
Second, the matters needing attention in choosing a mentor:
1. It is best to choose children from grade one to grade one, because this knowledge can be brushed a little. Mathematics, chemistry, physics, etc. It's still a little difficult to be above grade one, so I'm not ashamed of parental guidance. It's not easy to get 5 yuan more. It's better to teach young people, save worry and effort, and have a clear conscience.
2. Considering your professional expertise, you must learn foreign languages with ease, and you must learn Chinese as a counseling language. If you coach children across disciplines, you will be reluctant and may mislead them.
3, don't think that children are easy to teach, if the children's learning effect is not obvious, they will soon be laid off. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare lessons in advance before class, so that we can come prepared and do it for a long time.
4. It is best for boys to tutor boys and girls to tutor girls. If it is heterosexual teaching, I am afraid that unimaginable things will happen.
Matters needing attention in the first counseling:
1. It is advisable to apply for tutoring for the first time during the day, and it is best to have classmates.
2. If you find that only the opposite sex host is at home when applying, you'd better make an appointment again.
3. When you apply for tutoring for the first time, you should be vigilant when you find that the application conditions are inconsistent with the original conditions during the interview, especially for students who teach heterosexual hosts or heterosexual adults, and you should immediately refuse.
4. If you find the tutor's attitude is strange when you apply for a job for the first time, don't accept it rashly.
5. When attending a tutor class, if the male host is particularly diligent and exceeds the enthusiasm shown by the parents of ordinary students, he should be vigilant. When he feels something is wrong, he should resign from his tutor immediately.
6. Take a break during the cram school. If parents serve fruits and drinks, if you don't feel familiar with the students' families or parents, don't eat them.
7. If male parents are found to have behavior or tendency to harass themselves, they should quit their jobs after tutoring.
8. After the tutorial, it is best not to stay at the tutor's home for too long, and it is even more inappropriate for the tutor's parents to send them back to the dormitory. Don't accept the invitation of your tutor's parents casually, and travel with them. When talking with them, you'd better make a long story short.
9. Don't accept gifts from your mentor casually, but also accept or reject them in a measured way.
Third, matters needing attention in counseling interviews
Before the formal class, you must go through an interview:
When parents are looking for a tutor, the first thing they pay attention to is teaching experience and education, as well as your coping performance in the interview. When you answer the questions, parents can see your expressive ability.
In fact, the interview process with parents is like a job interview, and parents are the bosses. Parents often know the basic ability of the tutor from the resume data table of the tutor, and then go to the interview stage after finding it acceptable. The first thought of parents during the interview must be "Do I like this person?" "Is this man going with us?" "Can he help us?" The techniques of attention are as follows:
1, don't be late, pay attention to your clothes, and let parents think that you attach great importance to this interview. Don't think that an interview depends on the situation first, but for parents, you are here to apply for a tutor, not to attend classes at their home. They want to know that you are interested in this tutoring opportunity and believe that you can do it. Don't call or answer the phone during the interview; Clothes should be simple and tidy; Never be late. Remember, no one wants to be disrespected.
2, prepare in advance, add points for yourself, perhaps, you think that being a tutor is only a part-time job, and you don't need to prepare any special materials, then you are wrong! 7 1.6% of parents are office workers, and they attach great importance to your preparation for this interview. You can prepare letters of recommendation from teachers or parents, resumes, transcripts, descriptions of past teaching experiences, etc.
Don't rush to sell yourself right away. Tutors have confidence in their teaching quality and give parents time and space to think about it. Blow your own horn as soon as you enter the interview, which will make parents very disgusted. Parents should take the lead and listen to what they say. If your parents throw you a bunch of questions, as if to test your reaction ability, you can answer them at the same speed; If your parents relax, you should relax too, and don't try to steal his thunder. The focus of the interview is on building relationships, not comparing parents. Try to have a mutual trust with parents, so as to achieve the purpose of "clinching a deal".
4. Observe the parents and try to create a successful chemical reaction. A good salesman can find out the details of the buyer smoothly, so the tutor can also observe the body language of the parents face to face and explore his temper and personality. Avoid using some special tone, such as the current network or advertising language, which will make parents feel less solemn and make the interview situation freeze instantly. Most importantly, parents are often people with a certain age and qualifications, and using a special language will cause language communication problems between them. In the face-to-face interview, the tutor said that he is a person who can fully communicate with children and has enough tutoring ability, which is much better than saying that he is a "super quality dream tutor".
5. Explain that you are a person who can help solve problems. Parents look for tutors in the hope that tutors can help solve problems. You should also have self-confidence and make yourself a trustworthy person. A trustworthy person will not cry roast meat. You don't need to be self-expanding, you just need to show your most sincere and energetic side.
Fourth, how do college students tutor?
1. As a tutor, we should use our knowledge and ability as much as possible to establish prestige and establish an image of rich knowledge and excellent academic performance in the hearts of parents and children. (thinking: we should demand ourselves by the standards of excellent teachers. What kind of teacher is an excellent teacher? What qualities should you have? )
2. In the initial stage of tutoring students (the first trial lecture), because I don't know the students' personality and learning situation, I haven't prepared enough lessons myself, so I should ask my parents and children's learning situation patiently first, and then start tutoring from the textbook knowledge (basic concepts and basic exercises) for the children's weak links, and explain them in detail where the children don't understand and have doubts as much as possible. He can be inspired by vivid metaphors or vivid examples in his life. In short, the first class must be fully prepared, so that children can have a sense of fulfillment and gain after finishing a class, and even have a brand-new feeling of being suddenly enlightened (what they have learned is also very interesting, which is very different from the original feeling). Counseling strategy: beat about the bush, ask more questions, find out his problems, shock the effect, surprise and attack him unprepared.
3. In the later counseling stage, we should prepare some difficult problems from time to time to make the children feel psychologically shocked in the process of solving these problems (these problems are difficult for him, but they are so simple in your opinion, so that he can increase his self-confidence and eliminate his fear of difficult problems, and at the same time, let the students be convinced of you, make him feel a certain sense of awe, convince you in his heart, and regard you as an example of learning), and can appropriately say something about himself in middle school. In the future, you can firmly control his learning process and let the children follow your ideas. (Counseling strategy: build a strategic position from a strategic height, raise the height appropriately, and show strength)
4. For students with serious partial subjects, it is necessary to check the papers that students usually take in weak subjects, make a diagnosis of their learning problems, have an overall grasp of their learning situation, see what problems exist and which are weak links, and then give targeted and focused guidance in these aspects. (Counseling strategy: diagnosis and examination, targeted, missing and filling in gaps)
5. Counseling students from the problem, so that the counseling effect is good and parents will be very satisfied. Students will also expose many obvious problems and deficiencies in the process of doing problems. At this time, it is necessary to point out his mistakes and correct them in time, find out his weaknesses and bad habits in learning, and clearly list his shortcomings and deficiencies in learning methods. At this time, students will have a sense of shame (strong self-esteem) and a sense of awe for you. This is the best time for you to establish your prestige. Parents will also feel happy and satisfied because their children have exposed deep-seated problems, and you will find the crux of their children's learning, which will probably encourage them to make efforts to improve and improve in these areas. It is best to use this time to talk more about some learning methods and put forward some corresponding learning improvement plans according to his weaknesses, so as to improve his learning situation and formulate some learning tasks (such as typical exercises, etc. ) for his children, but the learning tasks must be few and precise, so that he can draw inferences from others and avoid conflicts with daily homework. (Counseling strategy: Starting with cultivating study habits and learning methods, the effect is good. )
6. When helping to do problems, you only need to choose a few typical examples for patient explanation and thorough analysis, and then let the students do some problems of the same type as independently as possible. If you can't do it halfway, you will give them instructions in time. You can also solve problems with your children. It's best to give him some difficult problems sometimes and win yourself a comfortable rest time in the process of doing problems, thinking and calculating independently. (Counseling strategy: push the boat with the tide, follow the course, and lay eggs easily. )
7. The tutor's role is not to lecture, but mainly to inspire, guide and guide, and improve his ability to solve problems independently, rather than to solve problems instead of him. It will be easier to coach. (Tutoring strategy: It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish)
8. For some problems that he repeatedly makes mistakes, be sure to help him analyze where and why he made mistakes. It is best to help him set up a set of typical wrong questions. Counseling strategy: setting a set of wrong questions for future review and consolidation is a good way to get twice the result with half the effort.
9, combined with their own learning experience, often teach children some useful tips and tricks in your usual study or problem-solving process, which will have unexpected results with half the effort. (Counseling strategy: However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn)
10, even the best teachers sometimes encounter difficulties, so they should learn to be flexible. Some particularly difficult questions can't find a breakthrough at the moment, so you should learn to scratch the ball, bypass it for the time being, and tell her later (for example, tell him that this question is too difficult for you, talk about it later, and do some basic questions first), but you must step up your preparation after class, study and summarize it carefully, and avoid this situation from happening again. (Counseling strategy: improvise, be flexible, be empty, and don't fight an unprepared war)
1 1. Always say something inspiring, give him some necessary hints, guide his thoughts and make him concentrate. "What should I do about this problem? Why did you do something wrong? Which one should I choose to exclude? See if this is the right thing to do? Where should this problem be analyzed? Which formula is used to solve? " (Counseling strategy: Ask questions from time to time to arouse thinking and change passive learning into active learning)
12. Keep a healthy and positive attitude under any circumstances, always respect your child, and never say anything that harms your child's personal dignity under any circumstances, let alone swear. (Tutoring strategy: Teachers' morality first, make friends with children, but be sure to temper justice with mercy. Love is the best education, and strict requirements are also a kind of love. )
13, review the relevant knowledge you want to talk about. Now that I'm admitted to the university, I can do something, and it's not a big problem. There are things he can't do, or give him many ways to solve a problem, so that he can admire you. As for communication, talk about what he is interested in.
5. Undergraduate tutors should effectively protect themselves and avoid infringement.
Safety comes first. In the process of finding a job as a tutor, always keep in mind that safety comes first, and never neglect the safety issue because you are eager to find a job. At the same time, for those college students who have had many tutoring experiences, they must not lower their awareness of self-protection and safety precautions, because it is too casual to find a job on the street, and no one can be sure whether the next employer they meet is a good person or a bad person. Remember, many people who look simple and honest may not really be good people. Always remind yourself that safety is the most important thing.
Through an intermediary. Don't post personal details and contact information on your own in the community, so as to provide opportunities for criminals. It is best to apply for a job through a formal intermediary. In addition, it is more reliable to be a tutor through the introduction of relatives, teachers and classmates.
Fixed time. First, the counseling time is relatively fixed, so don't change it without special circumstances; Second, the tutorial time should not be too late. Family counseling time should be arranged as early as possible on Saturday and Sunday during the day, or at a time when students usually have no evening self-study and finish school earlier. Try to choose a family near the school as a tutor.
Inform the whereabouts. For the first time, you'd better invite your classmates to go with you. At the same time, it's best to call your classmates after you get to the family where you are a tutor, so that on the one hand, your classmates can know your whereabouts, and on the other hand, even if you meet someone with malicious intentions, you can scare them in this way. In addition, when you are tutoring, you should inform your roommate of the schedule and timetable of going out for tutoring, so that good students can master it, just in case.
Dress appropriately. As the weather gets hotter, especially girls wear less and less. No sleeveless shirts, miniskirts and sexy fishnet stockings are allowed when going out for tutoring. When you come back from cram school at night, you need to contact your classmates in advance to pick you up. You'd better take a taxi back to school at night. Safety is more important than money.
Safety awareness always keep in mind that every detail determines success or failure. Safety must be prevented before it happens.
Sixth, people should pay attention to details.
1, make way: let others speak first, on the one hand, show their modesty, on the other hand, take the opportunity to observe each other and buy time for themselves; 2, taboo: no matter who you talk to, you must understand each other and cleverly avoid some taboo topics. Once you find yourself accidentally violating each other's taboos, you should immediately avoid them skillfully.
3. Modesty: Social psychologists have found that most people don't like people who always say "I". So avoid exposing yourself too much. It should be noted that people always accept a person before accepting his opinion.
4, sincerity: glib, even if there are good opinions, it is difficult to accept;
5. Humor: Just the right humor can make people feel profound philosophy in laughter. Proper use of humor can add an active and pleasant atmosphere to social interaction. However, interesting words come from a person's cultivation and talent, and can't be forced, otherwise it will be counterproductive;
6, mantra: can reflect personality, but as a language burden mantra, should be cut off;
7. Interrupt: Before interrupting, try to let the other person finish. If you really need to interrupt halfway, you should also ask the other party's permission and say in a consultative tone, "Excuse me, may I ask a question?" This can avoid misunderstanding;
8. Balance: If several people talk together, be careful not to focus on only one person and ignore others. In addition to your interlocutor, you can visit others occasionally to show your respect.
A failed mentor:
1, delaying time and not teaching seriously;
2. Ask the child as soon as you come, which topic can't be done? I'll teach you only one method, not your children to learn and solve problems.
3. Arrange homework for children to do by themselves, stare blankly or read books by themselves, and finally just comment;
4. Chatting (meaning nothing about learning) is more than learning;
5. Don't end up hastily. Some students want to earn more money and teach many children at the same time. Because time is tight, every student ends up hastily. Time is tight, which makes people feel that you are perfunctory and irresponsible. In this way, you will be fired by your parents soon, and you may not get paid.
Finally, don't forget to sign a mentor agreement to safeguard your rights and interests. But if you have established an absolute trust relationship, the other party can definitely trust you, or you don't want to sign it yourself, then don't forget to learn to protect yourself.
