Today marks Neil’s 150th episode of The Tutor Podcast. Join Neil as he reflects on what he can be grateful for and what he can improve on in his tutoring business. He discusses why it is important to aim to create a change amongst your students, why it is your duty as a tutor to help your students reach their desired success and how to infect them with your enthusiasm.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Create change. If they’re the same at the end of a lesson then you have failed. This is what teaching is really about, it’s not about content or lesson plans, it’s about making a connection and effecting change in your students.
- You must aim to lift up your students so they can see themselves further down the road, to see a vision of themselves as better and more capable and instill the skills, ideas and principles they need and to guide them to the point where their reality catches up with that vision.
- You must help other people. Think of it as reaching back from your position, ahead of them, and pulling them forward, faster and more securely than they could do for themselves.
- Ask your students the question “what else do you want to do?”. The subtext of what you do as the teacher should always be: “you’re able to learn quickly and to understand so much, so what else would you like to be good at, have, do or be in your life?”
- Infect them with your enthusiasm and passion for the subject. Try not to flat line them with boring lessons. That would turn them off to learning, and you should not let that happen.
BEST MOMENTS
“They leave behind a trace of themselves, as we leave something of ourselves in them”
“I’m even more enthusiastic and grateful than I was in episode 1”
“Let’s make it fun. Be silly, irreverent, playful”
