About Alfa
My name is Alfa Stephen and I'm going to be taking you on physics.
Why I want to teach?
My 11th grade physics teacher, Mrs Amal, was huge inspiration to me. She's of the primary reason that I developed such a love for physics, and absolutely one of the major reasons that I decided to pursue teaching career. Her teaching was humorous and personable, why still incredibly passionate about the subject. I hope that I can create a classroom that encourages my students to have fun while learning the same that she was able to.

As you can see, tutoring is a highly skilled activity. You are part teacher, part counselor, part detective, part interactive encyclopedia. If you're just getting started with tutoring, the first thing you will need is a deliberate plan to train yourself in some skills.
These skills are;
1.The tutor and student respect and trust one another.
2.The tutor is kind and compassionate with the student.
3.The student is holding the pencil about 90% of the time.
4.The student feels safe and empowered to ask questions, make mistakes, and ask for guidance.
5.The student is not constantly looking up at the tutor for validation.
6.The tutor is calm, patient, and allows a friendly silence in which the student can think and work.
7.The tutor is insanely attentive to the student's work, processing every detail of everything they may write or say, using this raw data either to develop new hypotheses about what specific skills this student needs help with, or to disconfirm old hypotheses. However, most of this attentiveness is not spoken aloud (see previous point). This is called Active Observation.
8.The tutor mostly uses questions to help the student. Probes are questions that may begin with “do you remember. . .” or “can you tell me. . .” and are intended to begin a conversation which jogs the student's memory and helps the tutor to identify knowledge gaps. Prompts are tiny hint-questions that model the thinking process and gently guide the student in the right direction.
9.The tutor's questions almost always help the student, rather than confuse them or derail them. This is thanks to the tutor’s Active Observation practice. The tutor is not merely guessing or making assumptions about what is confusing to the student.
10.Rarely, if ever, does the tutor give instructions to the student. When direct leadership is required, the tutor leads from the front by working through a carefully chosen example problem of their own design (not on the student's problem set), explaining their thinking out loud as they go, then encouraging the student with “okay, now you do one!” (or equivalent).
11.Rarely, if ever, does the tutor directly answer the question “what do I do now?” or “is this right?” There are a multitude of ways to respond to these, including an honest “what do you think?”, or a carefully chosen probe or prompt, or even a simple shrug. Eventually the student learns to ask more specific and purposeful questions.
