In order for individualized instruction to be as effective as possible, you need to create the right environment for your child and provide for a few other things:
- Discuss the child's character traits with the educator in advance. In this way, the teacher can plan and select appropriate teaching methods for that child. You can discuss how the child reacts to praise or criticism, what helps them learn, how long they work, how to attract and keep their attention.
- Build individualized instruction into the daily routine. You can print out a timetable, decorate it brightly and hang it in front of your child's desk. This way the class time will attract attention and be better remembered.
- Organize the workplace. We remind you: distance from the eyes to the monitor - 50 cm, good light, no tangled wires and nothing unnecessary on the table. Phone - on silent mode, pets - on a walk. One-on-one sessions should be organized as properly as possible to avoid wasting study time.
- Check internet, camera, speakers and microphone. Make sure the sound from the speakers is loud enough so that your child does not have to strain his or her hearing. If no speakers are available, use headphones. When choosing between a computer and a smartphone for class, of course, prefer the former. The screen is bigger, your working posture will be more comfortable, and typing is easier. If the internet slows down, it can ruin the class, so it's better to double-check the speed.
- Set the child to work. Individual lessons require maximum concentration. Therefore, it is great if in 15 minutes he puts aside his toys and instead of dreaming about chicken wings, concentrates on the topic of the lesson.
- Discuss in advance the reasons for individualized instruction. We have already told you who can benefit from this form of learning. And it is good if the teacher knows that you, for example, want to learn Russian intensively and are therefore ready for more difficult tasks than the children in the general group.
