Take the Time to Understand Your Student Students who come to you as a math tutor are expecting some individual attention and tailored educational programs. Don't make the mistake therefore of trying to deliver the same content to each and every one of your math students. Take the time to get to know your student and their needs and expectations. Find out: what has worked for them in the past with their math learning what has not worked well what they like about math (for example, do they enjoy financial planning and money management matters but gaze out of the window at the idea of algebra?)financial planning and money management what they find challenging what emotional responses words such as 'test', 'assessment' and 'math class' elicit from your student what they know about their own individual learning style - are they a visual learning, do they learn from rote well, do they enjoy making and doing things with their hands? Create an individual (and confidential) folder of information for each student, so you can record important information and progress notes. Set Goals A very useful successful math tutoring tip is to set some goals with your student during your first or second session with them. Understand why they are seeking your support, and what goals they have. For a lower achieving student, encourage goals which are realistic and achievable and so are less likely to result in further academic failure. Goals are also a helpful way of showing a student who struggles with math how to manage their own learning. Some students with learning disabilities never gain this skill, and so are dependent upon others throughout their schooling to take charge of their learning process. By contrast, other students who may have the same degree of learning disability can become more successful as learners by gaining the skills to manage their own learning processes. This can involve learning about strategies for solving problems, planning ways of organizing work folders or understanding where they often go wrong in solving math problems.disabilities Don't Neglect the Basics For students with learning disabilities or others who are achieving at a low level in math class, ensure you don't neglect the basics. In order to be a successful at math tutoring, it is important to go back and cover the basic math skills:learning disabilities four processes organization of work how to check an answer looking for a degree of reasonableness in answers number patterns shape and form managing data and presenting it in a meaningful and organized way being responsible for math tools such as ruler, scales, calculator, blocks, note pad, pencil, eraser etc. and knowing when and how to use each one successfully.
