General teaching guidance
General advice, not the employer’s requirements. Check the posting for how this role works.
Start by finding out how the learner is thinking. Ask them to show their working, use their mistakes to find the missing step, and let them try the next problem themselves. A shared board can make reasoning easier to follow in live lessons. Check the curriculum, class size, materials and preparation time with the employer; these vary between tutoring and school roles.
