Keeping a record of the child's progress is often helpful. Do not extend formal tutoring indefinitely. Periodically halt the tutoring. Supplement or replace it by incorporating the remedial tasks in everyday chores and games. Make an effort to select the best time for the session.
Many parents report that immediately following the evening meal is a good time.
Also, choose a place for the session that does not restrict the activities of the other family members and is not too distracting. Tutor at the same time and place to establish an expectation for the activity. Identify appropriate levels, and make sure the task is one the child can do. Tutoring sessions should be success-oriented. Work should be challenging but not too difficult.
