Cool Manager of a Tutoring Agency here to take questions from new tutors...

Hello tutors, especially those who are considering taking up tutoring!

Don't be afraid, once you become a tutor and start tutoring, you'll never forget your experiences as a tutor.

I started teaching in a supplementary school, then decided to try secondary school teaching after qualifying. I then became interested in tutoring and since then continued to be in this field. During the busy periods I used to earn upto £250 tutoring all day saturday and friday evenings! My friends and family were surprised how you could earn full time income working just 2 days a week. Maybe I was a good tutor.

I now run a tutoring agency called Home Tutors (Google it!) and provide support to tutors and clients finding private tutors across UK.

So, if you have any questions regarding tutoring, then please feel free to ask.

Hi i am a new tutor, with no experience. I have 3 students this year for GCSE and A level Chem/Biology/Maths. I am trying to plan out my lessons at present, but am not sure how to set the level for an hours lesson. Do you have any useful links to help me find my way? Or any advice you would give to your tutors?

Any Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks..Tutor101

At least from my limited experience the first thing I would do is to gauge your pupil's ability via a small test and then go on from there.

Split the hour into half and teach a particular chapter first, then in the remaining half go through the questions together. In your next sessions, spend the first 10 min examining the homework you set, teach a new chapter for 30 min and go through the next 20min, questions from the new chapter.

Hope this helps.
