To Do: Greet students warmly, introduce yourself, and ask a couple of personal but general questions like, "What's your favorite subject?" or "What are your hobbies?"
​

Question to Ask Yourself:

To Do: Start a conversation about soft skills by asking, "Can anyone tell me what 'soft skills' are?"

Question to Ask Yourself:

Example: Let's assume the day's activity is a group discussion on a current topic. The soft skill in focus is 'communication', which includes listening, presenting thoughts clearly, and respectful debating. The tutor could relate this activity to real-life applications by explaining, "Today's group discussion is not just about sharing opinions on a topic. It's about learning how to communicate. The skills you're practicing here – listening to others, articulating your thoughts, and engaging in respectful debate – are crucial in many real-life situations, be it in school projects, family discussions, or even future workplaces. These scenarios require you to express yourself clearly and understand others, just like in our discussion today."
​
​

​

To Do: Describe the activity clearly; for instance, "Today, we'll be working on a team-building exercise that will help us improve our communication skills.”, ‘’The goal is to save Elli, to save her, we need our communication skills!’’

Question to Ask Yourself:

To Do for Younger Groups: As a tutor, your approach should be dynamic and energetic. Engage younger students by using expressive body language, varying your tone of voice to keep them interested. If you have asked something and your learners do not reply, you should call them by their name.
​

To Do for Older Groups: For older students, adopt a more discussion-based approach. Encourage them to share their thoughts and opinions, fostering a dialogue rather than a monologue. Treat them as young adults, respecting their viewpoints and prompting them to engage in more in-depth discussions. This approach helps them feel valued and boosts their critical thinking and engagement.
​

Employ clear, concise language and integrate relevant examples to make your points more relatable. Ensure your delivery is confident and easy to follow. Pose interactive questions to the class, such as, "Can anyone give me an example of a time when you had to use teamwork?" This approach not only enhances understanding but also encourages student participation.
​

To Do for Younger Groups: When engaging with younger groups, such as those aged 6-11, our approach is slightly modified. In these sessions, we as tutors provide relevant examples to illustrate our points. This method is tailored to their developmental stage, where guided learning is crucial. For instance, when discussing teamwork, we might share a story about a group of friends working together to build a treehouse, highlighting each person's unique contribution and how their collaboration led to success. This storytelling technique makes abstract concepts like teamwork tangible and relatable for younger learners.
​

To Do for Older Groups: In contrast, for older groups, such as those aged 12-17, we shift the dynamics. Here, we encourage the students themselves to share their experiences. For instance, we might ask, "Can anyone give me an example of a time when you had to use teamwork?" This interactive approach fosters critical thinking and reflection, allowing students to connect their personal experiences with the concept being discussed. It also promotes a more engaging and participatory learning environment, essential for this age group's cognitive and social development.
​

Questions to Ask Yourself:

To Do: Dress professionally, ensure your background is neat, and check that your audio and video are clear. Prior to any session or presentation, gather all the links and digital resources you plan to use. This could include links to educational materials, interactive activities, or any relevant online content.
​

Question to Ask Yourself:

To Do: Plan the session so that each segment fits within the allocated time, allowing for a smooth beginning and end.
​

Question to Ask Yourself:

To Do: End each session by either summarizing the key points learned or inviting a student to provide a summary. This reinforces the lesson's objectives. Additionally, remind students to complete their reviews. Emphasize the value of feedback, explaining why their reviews are crucial for continuous improvement and tailoring future lessons to better meet their needs and enhance the learning experience.
