To start of I would use the first lesson to get to know my student and build a relationship with them in which they can learn to trust me, I would love to gain an understanding of my students academic abilities and their level of understanding in the subject psychology. I would also gain an understanding of what area in psychology my students struggle with the most (e.g memorising content) to which I would then use a variety of techniques to help conquer my students struggles allowing them to be confident in the subject. Not only will I provide help in being able to understand psychology but I also try to understand my students abilities by using many of my skills such as communication and listening skills which is most important when tutoring. This way I will be able to tailor my lessons to suit my students, for example if my student struggles to stay focused then my lessons will contain more exercises and activities to help my student stay engaged throughout the lesson ensuring they are able to learn and gain the most out of the class. To further ensure my students get the most out of their lessons I will plan in advance according to what topics my students feel they want to focus more on, this way I make certain that no time is wasted in the lesson.

Look forward to hearing from you!
