4 Tips for Great Personalized English Language Tutoring

The motto of tutorbees.net is “Personalized 1 to 1 tutoring” for students who want to do more in less time.

1. Plan your lesson for your student

During the class, don’t think about what topic or practice to give to the student. It should be ready beforehand, keeping student interests in mind. If a student enjoys sports, use sports-related topics, sentences, vocabulary, and examples sometimes.

2. Greet the Student by Name and Start with a Pleasant Check-In

”How are you doing today?” or “How was your week?”

Show some energy in your voice and tone, and turn on your camera. Keep your background professional, use a tutorbees given background image if needed.

3. Practice Targeted Skills

  • Create a checklist of mistakes the student made. During the session, go over a few practice questions for each type of mistake to help students improve on specific problem areas.
  • Show the student’s work on the screen and then provide constructive feedback tailored to the student’s learning style. For instance, if a student responds well to visuals, use diagrams to explain grammar rules; if they prefer hands-on practice, focus on more exercises.

4. Ask for Feedback from the student and tutorbees team to assess your lessons.

  • The students are often shy in giving candid feedback, we advise you to get some input from the parent over messages
  • The TutorBees team reviews a lot of classes. You can request for a comparative analysis of your lessons. This will help you understand your strengths and weaknesses.

If you are able to deliver highly efficient personalized English lessons for your students, you will be able to get referrals and your student(s) would want to continue to book lessons with you in future as well.
