Tuition ManagerTeaching maths as a tutor
A simple weekly plan for your maths, and a way to keep track of progress.
How a class can run
Start each class with five minutes of mental practice, teach one idea with a worked example, then let the student solve a graded set: two easy, two medium, one hard.
A sample week
- Monday: new idea with two worked examples
- Tuesday: practice set on Monday's idea
- Wednesday: mistakes from the set, and mental maths
- Thursday: word problems on the topic
- Friday: a short test and review
What to track for each student
Track which topics need practice (fractions, algebra, geometry), speed and accuracy in each, and the type of mistake: careless, concept or method. 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 daily set rather than a long weekly one; ten problems a day beats seventy on Sunday.
Tests
Use short topic tests with the mistakes reviewed in class, and one mixed test a month.
A common mistake
Teaching a method without showing why it works; students then forget it when the question changes.
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 "Maths, Class 9".
Common questions
How many students should one batch have in maths?
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.
