I am tutoring online since 3 years and i have worked on wiziq,
elluminate, twiddla, etc...
My aim while tutoring is that student should master the concept. I believe that
math needs more and more practice so i give my student questions ranging from
very simple to most difficult.
Online tutoring is different than F2F tutoring; the reason is students are new
to technology. Conventionally we use pen and paper but when it comes to digital
board, it becomes difficult to teach and learn. one option is using digital pen
and tablet but not every student have that moreover sometimes there are
problems like internet speed is low at either end or student have lost
microphone etc., so they lose interest in those sessions. But if a session
is fully planned and a targeted session for a particular student, I have seen
that student is indulge fully in session and grasp hold on concept.
We should give our students time to get used to the technology. We should
include pictures and graphics in session, so that they don’t get a monotonous
session, include variety of questions, for eg if we teach fractions we can take sessions on:
1. Addition of
fractions,
2. Subtraction of
fractions,
3. Multiplication
of fractions,
4. Division of
fractions,
5. Addition of
fractions with unlike denominators,
6. Subtraction of
fractions with unlike denominators,
7. Multiplication
of fractions with unlike denominators,
8. Division of
fractions with unlike
denominators,
9. Addition of mixed
fractions,
10. Subtraction of
mixed fractions,
11. Multiplication
of mixed fractions,
12. Division of mixed fractions,
13. Addition of mixed
fractions with unlike
denominators,
14. Subtraction of
mixed fractions with unlike denominators,
15. Multiplication
of mixed fractions with unlike denominators,
16. Division of mixed
fractions with unlike
denominators.
It depends on grade we are tutoring and level of student how much we
should teach them.
So while tutoring we should keep in mind that we have to add value to
them, they should understand completely
what we am tutoring, and they should not lose interest. Teaching is not and
easy task, it requires much devotion towards willing to understand students requirement,
their grey areas and deciding about the method which will suit them.
