To start, I always set up a no cost/no obligation virtual meet & greet with student and parent, to make sure that we would be a good fit for each other. This meeting would include talking through:
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND - Discuss past and current courses and marks.
ACCOMMODATIONS - If applicable, go over the student's IEP (Individual Education Plan), or discuss any form of teaching accommodation that they would require.
GOALS - Ask the student and parent what they are looking to gain out of tutoring, explain tutor's expectations of the student, and set shared goals.
STUDY HABITS - Determine the student's existing study habits, and discuss what is needed to achieve their tutoring goals.
TUTORING PLAN - If everyone decides that they would like to move forward with tutoring, we would discuss scheduling and session frequency.
IN-PERSON - In-person tutoring at my home.
VIRTUAL - Virtual tutoring is also available through Zoom.
IN CASE OF ILLNESS - At any time before your session please contact me and we will reschedule.
OTHER - When needing to cancel or reschedule a session in other cases, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss options.
