What makes an effective Mandarin tutor?

To be an effective Mandarin tutor, you must be fluent in writing, reading, and speaking the language. You should be friendly, organized and reliable, and you must have solid communication skills in English. It is critical to be flexible with your curriculum and tailor each lesson according to your students’ needs. Start out by asking the student or parents the areas of concern, go over previous assignments, and utilize proven study aids to prepare for tests and quizzes. Take notes during each session to follow up and track student progress throughout your time with them and report progress to parents if applicable.
