[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another experienced tutor here. Like 95% of my job is figuring out how to connect to a kid, use their interests to help drive the session, use engaging games to keep a kid’s attention, have a TON of back up plans in case something isn’t working or the kid is having a bad day. 6 year olds are tough, but that’s what I’m being paid to do. It’s not all about the subject matter.
Please, please do not take away things if a kid behaves badly in a session. It just makes them more resentful of tutoring, and makes it harder for anyone to work with them in the future. If the kid is acting out, some of that is on the tutor because she or he is not managing the session well.[/quote]

The bad behavior is something the parent needs to address, especially online.  A tutor is to teach, not deal with behavior.  It sounds like mom/dad are not participating and that is a big  part of the issue.[/quote]

It is in person pp. And as I said previously, I do support her by admonishing my child when there is a complain (sometimes downright punishing by taking away stuff); by reminding my child to listen/focus and cooperate and by doing the extra activities she deems essential - like reading rhymes.[/quote]
