and tricks tutors and students can use in order to create a good environment,
and successful tutoring session. Some things students receiving tutoring can do

spent on task, the less time for distractions. The student: Allows for
immediate, positive and corrective feedback to help the learner stay on track
and not repeat errors. Can increase reading performance. Can improve motivation
and decrease frustration. Enhances interpersonal skills as a bond is
established with the tutor. Allows for individual monitoring of progress to
ensure that learning is taking place. If the student has a good bond with the
tutor, and allows for positive and corrective feedback, more progress can be
made during a session. There also many tricks tutors can use. A tutor can:
Establish important skills such as patience, trustworthiness and responsibility.
Provide an opportunity for community service. Enhance interpersonal skills. Increase
the tutor's own reading performance as a result of tutoring. It’s important
that the tutor is friendly with the student, but they also need to display
qualities that will benefit the student in the long run. Tutors should show
other qualities that make the student ready to learn, such as being positive,
patient, attentive, precise, mindful, diligent, innovative, focused. Being on
time is also extremely important, as is being committed and results-oriented.
Tutors are well aware that professionalism is key, but conveying a great
attitude to ensure that the student is comfortable and eager to learn is crucial
as well.
