How to become a good tutor?

Step 1: Identify the subjects you are best at.

Identify the subjects listed at Vprogress website that you are confident of.

Step 2: Ensure you have filled the form correctly.

When you fill the join us form, ensure that you have mentioned name of all the subjects that you can teach.

Draft a quick small assessment to give to student in the beginning of lesson. Have a look at the syllabus and do preparation before starting lesson to any new student.

Step 4: Hold a valid police check and/ or working with children check / Blue card

Holding valid Working with Children Check means that the Department of Justice and Regulation has determined that they do not pose an unjustifiable risk to children. If you intend to do child-related work, you must obtain a Check unless you are exempt. Working with your own child is an exempt activity under the Working with Children Act 2005 (the Act).” Find the details here.

Complete a Working with Children (or equivalent) check or you must submit the necessary documentation to Vprogress. Different states impose different legal requirements in relation to ‘Working with Children Check’.

Step 5: Arrange your insurance.

It’s always recommended that private tutors take out a policy to protect themselves in the event of injury or damage claims.

Step 6: Pay attention to understand student’s aims and challenges.

Ask the student/parent before going for the lesson what are the challenges student’s facing, what they’re good at and what they most enjoy about the subject. Let them speak open-endedly about their aims, difficulties and subject knowledge.

Step 7: Be confident and patient while teaching.

Students and parents chose a tutor expecting the tutor will help them to achieve the best outcome. Ensure you portray your qualities in best manner that enable you to be a good tutor and role model to them.

Step 8: Regular monitoring to track the student’s progress.

Take regular quizzes, tests and perform quick assessments to the students for the topics covered in past 2 -4 weeks. Continuous evaluation of the student’s efforts and understanding of concepts will help them in revising the topics frequently and improving their academic performance.

Step 9: Record student’s lesson details in Timesheet 

Two copies of lesson record forms need to be carried per student for every lesson. One for student and another for the Tutor. The timesheet record must be signed by parent/guardian after every lesson. It must not be signed by any person under 18 years of age. Download  Time_sheet here.
