Tips for working with students Be warm and friendly. Let your student know you care about him or her. Be a good listener, but don't try to always solve or fix problems. Encourage students to do their own thinking. Try not to give students the answers before they have an opportunity to solve questions on their own.
Silence often means a child is thinking.
Give them plenty of time to answer. Reinforce good behavior. Let your student know how proud you are of them. This will encourage them to try harder. Children never forget.
