The simplest way to do this is with a word processing tool or a spreadsheet. Software programs that allow you to make mind maps and charts can also come in handy. You should be prepared to address common issues in the subject or area in which you want to tutor. For example, if you want to tutor English language, you should probably prepare several lessons about grammatical basics such as subject/verb agreement, pronoun/antecedent agreement, etc. There are many teacher-training resources online that could be helpful to you as you develop your curriculum. Harvard's "Harvard Bridge Tutor Program" includes lesson plan templates and sample questions and answers. An online search for "tutor lesson plans" will produce many helpful resources. Your curriculum also needs to address outcomes, or how you know whether you have been successful or not. For example, will you use quizzes or tests? Self-report measures such as the student performing better in her/his classes? You must have a set of benchmarks so that you can gauge your students' progress. Make notes of important things that you want to say or demonstrate. You don't have to stick to a script throughout your lessons, but having some ideas down on paper and memorized will really help your flow and make sure you don't miss anything vital in your sessions. It's important that you be familiar enough with your material that you can improvise and redirect your lessons according to the students' individual needs. Remember that as a tutor you must go at the student's pace, not the one you've pre-planned. Plan to be flexible. Because of the online format, you may need links, video or audio clips, articles, and photographs as instruction tools. Make sure you're familiar with them all before you begin your lessons; nothing slows an online tutoring session down like the tutor needing to figure out a software or website before they can show their students It can be helpful to create a "notebook" (such as a Google Doc or a OneNote binder) with all of the important links, videos, and online resources organized by subject or student. That way, you will have ready access to them during each session. Tutoring online requires a fast and reliable internet connection. You will also need a computer that is fast enough to handle memory-intensive applications such as video conferencing and virtual classrooms. You will also need some sort of A/V equipment. The most basic is a headset with a microphone. You may also prefer to use a webcam so that your clients can see you. The ideal solution may depend on what you want to teach. You can choose from a variety of free and paid audio and video conferencing tools. You can do basic lessons using simple platforms like Skype or Google Hangouts and Google Documents, or you can research more elaborate conferencing platforms to up the ante on the interactive portions of your presentations. Consider an application that provides a virtual "whiteboard," such as Idroo, Scribblar, or Talk and Write. Paid platforms that allow videoconferencing and even group conferences include Webex, Gotomeeting, and Wiziq. Skype allows you to share your screen with other people, which can be very helpful if you are tutoring someone in how to use a computer or do technical tasks. Other places that allow you to share a screen include join.me and screenleap. The most popular way of sending payment online is PayPal, which allows you to accept payment from people worldwide. They charge small fees per transaction, but for convenience and reliability it's a great choice. You can send invoices to clients through their web portal. PayPal also has a set of "merchant services" that will allow you to accept credit cards on a personal website or through a mobile device. It's important to ensure that you are paid before your tutoring session. It can be very difficult to track down deadbeat customers if they fail to pay after you've completed your session. Before you go "live" with real students, it's a good idea to practice your tutoring skills with some obliging friends. If you can, choose friends who are not very familiar with the subject(s) you want to teach. This way, you'll know if you are adequately explaining your topics. Run these sessions just as you would live online sessions with paying clients. Use the same software, spend the same amount of time preparing and teaching, and answer questions the same way you plan to when you start offering your services. Ask for honest feedback. Encourage your friends to let you know what didn't work well, or any area where they think you could clarify or perform better. Don't take criticism personally; this advice will help you ensure that you offer the best possible product to your clients.

Article: Show respect for the celebrity by keeping your letter to about a page in length. Since they're busy people, and likely have a lot of fan mail, a page is the perfect length for them to read quickly. Remember, if you do write a longer letter, it's unlikely that the celebrity will read more than the first page. If you're sending the letter through social media, be aware of length constraints. For example, if you plan to tweet at a celebrity on Twitter, keep your message under the 280 character limit! Start by writing 2 or 3 sentences about yourself, including your name, where you're from, and how old you are. Talk about how you first heard about them, and what kind of impact they've had on your life. Don't be afraid to tell a short story about how you first encountered their work. It's okay to make it a little personal! If you're writing to Britney Spears, you might say something like "My name is Kate, and I'm 19 years old. I've been a huge fan of yours ever since I heard your song 'Oops, I Did It Again' on the radio when I was a kid!" Be as specific as possible when writing your fan letter. Tell them why that specific book, show, or movie is your favorite, and mention your favorite line or scene. Talk about how it has shaped you as a person. This helps to make a connection with the celebrity and might make them more likely to respond to your letter. For example, if you were writing to J.K. Rowling, you might say, "I loved The Goblet of Fire because it really showed me what it means to be brave in the face of impossible challenges." If you're writing to get an autograph, don't be afraid to ask for one! Simply be gracious about it, by saying something like, "It would mean the world to me if you could send me an autograph." Keep in mind that there's no guarantee that you'll get anything back from the celebrity, but there's also no harm in asking. It's important to be kind to the celebrity in your letter, and express your happiness to get a chance to communicate with them. Say something like, "Thanks so much for taking the time to read my letter," or "I wish you well in your next project!" You can even ask a thought-provoking question to encourage them to respond! This will show the celebrity that you're not just looking to get an autograph from them, but that you really care about them.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Keep your letter short and to the point. Introduce yourself to the celebrity. Mention your favorite book, movie, or show of theirs. Ask them for an autograph politely if you're mailing a letter. Thank them and wish them well.
