Reason #5: No matter how much time a student puts in, homework is always incomplete or done incorrectly.
It's a fact of life - most students don't enjoy sitting down to do homework, especially during "summer break." This becomes even more of an issue when you notice that a student complains of homework sessions that last for hours, only to result in incomplete or incorrectly completed assignments. This can be frustrating for the student, and in the long run, can hurt the student's grades.
The good news? Tutoring can help these students work more efficiently, and get better homework results in less time.
When you are asked to tutor, spend a few minutes talking to your tutee about his or her homework. How long is a typical homework session? How often do they do homework (every night, every other night, etc.)? How have the homework grades been so far? Does your tutee feel that he or she is doing their best on the homework assignments?
Since homework can be a major part of a class, it will definitely be worth spending a few minutes talking about it with your tutee, and the results for your tutee will be phenomenal. Also, keep in mind that as your tutee gains more confidence and knowledge of a subject, the homework grades are also likely to improve as your tutee gets more practice with the subject matter.
By tackling both aspects of tutoring (study habits and the class subject), you are practically guaranteed to have a happy, successful tutee.
