1761. Giving a Chance to the Students to Speak



How to start a conversation? It depends on you teacher. 

Some teachers smile and ask about the student, how he feels, how he is. 

Also we can ask for help to the guardian angels of both, student and teacher. 

Usually students will start by saying little, except in the case the initiative of the individual session of tutoring has been requested by the student himself, so as to tell you something that has happened to him. 

All they say is important for him, though you may think it is something childish. If it’s important for him, it’s important for you, since you are his tutor. 

A prompt of a few questions can foster communication between you two. 

I remember a summer and torrid course for remedial study before September remedial exams, in 1993. The students and most teachers lived in the school. The students were boys from 13 to 18 years. The course was somewhat tough. 

They could go out with their parents in the weekends if they passed most or all the weekly tests. So in an atmosphere of serious work, if you picked up a student, he could tell you a lot of things: they needed COMMUNICATION. The students gave vents to their problems, and they found an adult that listened to you as if you were the most important person in the program.
