How Home Tutors Can Prepare for Their First Student Lesson in Mumbai

Plan a Productive First Lesson

The first tutoring session helps the tutor understand the students current knowledge, learning preferences and goals. Preparation should include reviewing the subjects required and planning activities that reveal strengths as well as areas needing support.

Before the Lesson

• Confirm the subject, grade and lesson duration.
• Ask about the students current topics and difficulties.
• Prepare a few suitable diagnostic questions.
• Bring relevant examples and practice material.
• Allow time to discuss goals and expectations.

Avoid trying to cover too much in the first meeting. Use the students responses to plan future lessons and communicate a realistic approach to progress with the family.
