"Why Is Your Child Not Paying Attention To You?"

Before I find my passion in private tutoring, I was doing sales. All sorts of sales.

There is one common thing I find that in all sales situations. To clinch the deal, the salesman must always build the need. Keep building the need until the customer has no choice but to buy the product. The process is not easy.

Similarly, to get your child/student to 'buy' the subject content, one must build the need for the content. You must put yourself in his shoes and build up HIS need for the content. To effectively 'glue' the content to his brain, you must build an immense need for the content first. Give the content to him only when the need is unbearable. In this way, he will remember the content for life.

Many private tutors or even teachers these days force the content down the students' throat. This has not only made the content repulsive to the student, but also caused a great disinterest in the child's attitude towards studying or learning.

To create that need, there is only one way to do it: PREPARE the content beforehand. Nowadays, we all seek one general solution to solve all problems. We think that a general assessment book is sufficient to teach the child some lessons. Assessment books are only assistants to teaching. Real teaching requires hard work and creativity to link the students to the content.

Sometimes, i spent hours to prepare for a lesson. For me, I spent hours. For the student, he got the content FOR LIFE.
