If you find one, however, it can be one of the quietest places to work. In addition, classrooms often have blackboards and other tools you can use, if you feel more comfortable working in this way. Be aware that some students may be uncomfortable in a room with only the tutor. Try to leave the door open. If the student just needs to discuss some general concepts, without going into any details, you can make the session very informal.
Some students are more comfortable discussing things with other student in a relaxed setting.
Obviously, there are many drawbacks to this, but it can be a nice change. I really DO NOT recommend this . There is certainly potential for harassment with either of these options. Usually you're meeting with students that you have have never met. Many tutors don't even give out their home number, instead using e-mail or their work number to avoid harassment and maintain some privacy.
