STUDY YOUR TUTEE -
When I say study your tutee, I'm saying you should how capable is the memory of tutee to take pills a day. Pills to me are those notes, fingering, bowing, calculations,you want your tutee to assimilate at some point in time that would make the brain and body system go easily with the acquisition of the skills.
Know the unique part that catches the interest of your tutee. As a child, you are expected as a tutor to know if what arouses the interest of yo tutee is to play first, then comes explanation or explain first, then comes playing. Most children are so gifted that they could with you playing together with them without explanation, yet, some needs explanation in short and also some, more expression to catch up.
As a tutor, you should know children are in different kinds. We have proactive and active. Proactive set of people are bold, fast learner, and can go the extra miles. The active set of people boldness has limit and level, they extra time to assimilate, and rather focus on what was taught than going extra miles. You can only get the best of the active when you make out time for them.
