Teaching computer classes as a tutor
A simple weekly plan for your computer classes, and a way to keep track of progress.
How a class can run
Combine a short explanation with a task on the computer that the student must finish. Keep each skill small: typing, a document, a sheet, a safe search.
A sample week
- Monday: one small skill demonstrated
- Tuesday: the student repeats it alone
- Wednesday: a task that combines two skills
- Thursday: typing practice and safe browsing
- Friday: a mini project and a checklist
What to track for each student
Track which tasks the student can do without help, typing speed and accuracy, and understanding of safety online. Write one line a week in the notebook or in your head, and bring it into the monthly progress note.
Homework at home
Ask for a short practical task at home if a device is available, or paper practice if not.
Tests
Use a practical task each month, marked by a checklist.
A common mistake
Showing too much on the screen and letting students watch; have them do every step.
Fees and records
Set the fee from your hours, including preparation and marking (see setting fees), and record each student in the manager with the subject in the class name, for example "Computer classes, Class 9".
Common questions
How many students should one batch have in computer classes?
Choose a number where you can still see each student's work. Smaller groups let you correct more; larger groups bring more income but need a clear routine.
How do I show progress to parents?
Keep the weekly line and the monthly test, then send a short note. See the progress notes page for wording.
