Teaching science as a tutor
A simple weekly plan for your science, and a way to keep track of progress.
How a class can run
Teach through a question and a simple demonstration or drawing, then summarise in three lines the student writes in their own words.
A sample week
- Monday: question and demonstration of a new idea
- Tuesday: draw and label a diagram
- Wednesday: numerical or application questions
- Thursday: recall without the book
- Friday: a short test with one diagram
What to track for each student
Track which chapters the student can explain without the book, diagrams they can draw, and numerical problems solved correctly. 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 draw one diagram a day and explain it aloud to a family member.
Tests
Use chapter tests with a diagram question and a short explain question.
A common mistake
Letting the student memorise definitions without understanding them; ask "why" after every definition.
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 "Science, Class 9".
Common questions
How many students should one batch have in science?
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.
