first tutoring experience isn't good at all :((
one, there's no agenda.
two, the kid does not follow what i say.
three, it's boring.
urgh. kinda disheartening actually. really. first session so i can't blame anyone if there's no agenda but don't tell me i'm engaged just to teach spelling. if that's the case, then why can't the parents teach themselves. but when i tried to give exercises to be completed, i got replies such as "my aunt never ask me to do, so i'm not doing." i mean, i'm engaged to tutor you and to give you necessary homework to do but you are only willing to do if your aunt is the one who give the work. then why need me? just get the aunt to teach la. seriously. it's hard to control/communicate when most of the replies i get is "don't know". it actually when to the point when i finished teaching her all her school work (which she did most correctly by her herself) and she took out the hello kitty sticker book. oh god! a tuto teaching a kid how to draw her family portrait in a hello kitty book!?! what on earth man. i think i must do something to change all this. but how am i gonna let the kid listen to me!! i understand that she's only primary one but aiyo...it's even more challenging than teaching a teen! someone, pls advise!
