It’s important for tutors to keep students focused and on task in their tutoring sessions. This can be challenging, especially when students can get distracted easily from their devices or from being tired.

It’s important at the start of each session to make it clear to each student and to set out the tasks the student will complete. This will help them to stay on task and be motivated to complete each task. It’s also important for tutors to ensure they bring their students attention back to the task, when they are getting distracted. Their are a variety of different startegies tutors can use to achieve this.

If a tutor sees their student is distracted, it could be a good time to give them a break. This could be a drink, snack or bathroom break. This can help them to refocus when they return to the task.

It’s also important for tutors to try and minimise any distractions from devices. This will help students to stay focused on the task. To limit distractions, tutors can cretae a personalised structure for each student, so that they can maintain concentration, and make the most out of each tutoring session.

If tutors find that their student is distracted or bored, it’s crucial that tutors re-direct their focus.

Tutors should use encouragement to help students sustain focus and effort during each session. Acknowledging studenst progress and effort, can help them to build confidence and stay focused on the task they’re meant to complete.

Overall, tutors should create a safe, learning environment, where students feel encouraged and supported. By creating a structured and encouraging atmosphere, tutors can help students effectively maintain focus, so they can make the most out of each tutorial.
