9、ce on every student individuality. Educated in such a general environment, the students lack individuality and creativity. With the advance of peoples expectation and the improvement of teaching model, this state will be changed. A rational teaching model is not only to raise the students commonness
10、, but also the individuality. Moreover, to design an individualized scheme considering every students individuality .individual education is one of the trends in education innovation. Family private education just makes up the lack of individual education. In my opinion, three kinds of students want
11、 to employ an English tutor: one is his foundation is weak, another is he has tried his best but in vain, the third is he is now at certain height but want to get higher. In the parents viewpoint, English is necessary as a worldwide communicational way. Even some parents think that to employ an Engl
12、ish tutor can deal with all the problems. Actually it is a wrong thought, an English tutor, especially in china face more problems and it is really a burden. The university students who want to be an excellent English tutor are always exploring how to be successful in the domain. As a self-taught le
13、arner, I was lucky to have two years English tutor experience, I just want share some of my thought here. But first of all we should know the following things.The Language Environment for English Study in China English is a foreign language is china. English learners study under the Chinese language
14、 environment. We dont have an English study atmosphere like that in English spoken country. We learn it through classes. Classes and books are the input origin for the main language. The teaching model is always designed by teachers, encircle teaching material to listen, talk or read, write and role
15、s performance. The teaching is based on the principle of imparting knowledge. Many teacher demand the teacher to review or prepare the lessons outside classes and do all kinds of exercises. The students are limited in the scope of the teaching stuff or rely on the teachers explain on the classes. Wh
16、at they done is only busy for the examinations. This situation has already fallen away the attention of English study and broken the rules of English learning .under the situation of exam-oriented education system, the main language environment in China is the teachers ,teaching material and the exe
17、rcises.Without doubt, some learners can read the English magazines, newspapers and some English version original books, or listening the radio. But those contents are difficult to match his actual English level. Some is either simple to activate the interest or too hard to know. Because the quality
18、and the quantity of English the learners contact are not optimistic, that decreases the learners efficiency and passion. At the same time, the students lack the need and the motive for the actual communication, and lack the practice in real circumstance,. The form and development of language ability
19、 suffer a serious barrier. So in china, some students in university have learnt English for more than ten years but can not communicate fluently with the others(伍晓明 2008:1) Main Problems the Chinese Students Face with English Learning The great difference between Chinese and English and the internal
20、 language circumstance in china make it a very difficulty for the Chinese English learners. Many problems exist in English study for the Chinese students. The following listed are the typical ones Most Chinese students are not interested in English study , especially when they are lagged behind , th
21、ey even plan to give up this subject The most Chinese English learners have a poor language environment and situation. It is a really barrier for English study Lack of practice and use , the English knowledge is easy to be forgotten or not impressive Most English learners have a weak listening , exp
22、ression abilitySo how a English tutor to overcome these problems? The following is some of my opinions.Concrete Methods to be a Successful English TutorBuild an Image of Both Teacher and Friend Education was defined as a social activity of cultivating a person ，and teaching was always defined as a e
23、ducation activity that composed by teachers teaching and students learning （王汉澜，王道俊1989:5 ） . As a teacher, we should treat teaching as a career, not a occupation. Teacher should be with love, love is a sincere passion and a noiseless language. Who love his student is respected by his students. A fr
24、iendly teacher-student relation makes the students happy and active. So Gorky said who dont like kids can not be respected by kid in turn, who like them can educate them by contrary（杜远东 2007：1）.Be an English Teacher with AuthorityWhy did I stress the image of teacher? First of all, a English tutor i
25、s a teacher. The student or his parents pay for his courses. The tutor should be responsible for his teaching quality and his student. Secondly, establish the teachers image can enhance his authority to the student. Authority is different from highly moral and holy stateliness. If a teacher is a nob
26、le, learned, enlightened and skillful with teacher, he was easily to be accepted. A teacher who is strict but equal to his students, respect, to know and care for his students can set an example. Such a teacher is really a teacher with authority. That give his student a information that the teacher
27、is the educator and he is only a learner. What the teacher said is an order. The tutor can raise his efficiency by setting such an image. But how to form authority？ Education is a subtle mutual contact from peoples soul (Sukhomlinsky 1983:8) Educating is not a easy job，but a complex and difficult ta
28、sk. It needs some exploration，some wisdom，some self restriction. It just likes Jofet Stalin said “Be cautious when you are cultivating a person， just like the gardeners to nature the flowers and trees”(Spencer 1962:3). You must love your students and try to get close to them with your heart and soul
29、. Briefly speaking，love your students is the first step to form the authority. Teachers authority formed rest with many factors. Include the society， the government and the students attitude on teacher. But the behavior criterion of the teacher is the main factor. Such as noble personality ，skillful
30、 ability in working and excellent psychological diathesis. Besides, appearance, style of life and custom has direct influence on the teachers authority. For example .what you show to your student must be healthy, active, modest. In a word, you must do anything like a teacher.Be a Friend of Your Stud
31、entTo be a friend of your student is one of my experiences. on the standpoint of humans living meaning，education is communication with human who have equal moral quality(邹进 1991:1) .When you are friends , the kids will like you and think you are equal in interpersonal scope. On the other hand，he wil
32、l easily share his thinking to you ，and any other difficulties on study. As a English tutor，to establish such a friendship is no longer a tough problem. You must remember that before you take the task to nature a person, you must make sure that you are a person and a worth highly praising example(Ro
33、usseau 2003:99) by the way The famous educationalist Fried gives us some suggestions like the following listed. Always to be with your student and intend to learn something from his. That indicates you focus on his opinions. When the students are speaking ,dont interrupt Keep contact with your stude
34、nts, tell them when they can call you and your contact means. Have your student to solve the difficulties in classes and dont scoff them Be humorous and dare to scoff yourself To greet your student every time everywhere. That give them warmth ,such as some simple questions(Lynda Fielstein ，Patricia
35、Phelps 2002：182-183)“how are you ？”“how about your weekend？”“is anything ok？”Thinking in a manner of exchanging positions, if you were a student, you were greeted like that, dont you feel warm? And dont you think the teacher is a friendly and amiable? After was asked for several times， the students
36、will treat his teacher as one of his friends naturally.Raise the Students Interest on English Study Interest is a direct factor to stimulate the students study actively. Once the interest is formed, the learner will focus on his study, set free his potential and overcome his difficulties. A student
37、who is interested on English can effectively master the knowledge, be happy and positive when they are studying English. So we can see that interest is so vital for English study. Interest is the beginning of initiative, creativity and active. The most important motivation is interest in work or stu
38、dy ，and the interest when you get the achievement and the cognition to the social value of this result. In my viewpoint, it is the school and the teachers obligation to enlighten and enhance the youngsters mental strength. With this mental foundation, one can pursue his highest fortune, art and know
39、ledge（Einstein 2005：102）. But as far as I know, the English learner who need a private teacher are mostly get bored with English or have no the control ability. And why they failed is just because of lack of interest. The following listed are some my suggestions about how to raise the learners inter
40、est on English study.Teaching Combines with RealityWhen you are given a class ，combine the knowledge on the books with reality can let your student know the actual meaning of English learning. By this method，we can not only develop the students observe ability but also the appetite for knowledge. Fo
41、r example, the title of the lesson is The Changeable Weather in UK. As a tutor， you should make sure that the main task of this lesson is to tell him why the climate there is changeable. So how to achieve the expected efficiency and what to prepare？ok ，may the books have explained clearly，but for th
42、e student it is quite difficult. Dont you think you must to download some stuff from internet, Or to prepare a map? Mediterranean climate or warm current are both abstract definitions. So enough stuff is necessary for this lesson. That is helpful for improve the students interest and raise the teach
43、ing efficiency. For activate the students passion and develop his actual problem solve ability. I always encourage him to solve the actual problem with knowledge. For example, my students book demands the users to give a brief conclusion every week. I ever ordered him to give a short speech to his p
44、arents every week in English to conclude the study of the past week. The first week he can only speak“dad and mum， I can finish all the homework that mister Lu set”， but a few weeks later he can speak a lot ， the vocabularies “diligent”“delighted” was used. I was really full of achievement sense.Aff
45、ective MotivationConsidering the internal demand and individual character of the student to give him encouragement, try your best to motivate your students internal drive. Seize his flash with indifferences. Praise can translate common into positive factor. Estimate and appreciate successful factor
46、in his the progress，strengthen his desire，play up strengths and avoid weaknesses. When he is in frustration，find out the correct and advantage factors， buildup his confidence and open up his internal power. These are what New English Curriculum recommends new teaching ideas under new model. Two year
47、s ago, I was an English tutor and my student is a secondary school entrance examination student. But he is not enough confident in English study. He felt nervous when make a mistake and didnt willing to open his mouth. After a few days teaching, we become friend and I encourage him to speak out what
48、 his thinking in English. And after any success, I praised him. And I let him know that make mistake is a process to advance. Finally he became talkative. You can give your student warmth and strength by using the words and sentence： “Good job” “Well done” “Terrific” “Dont be frustrated” “You have made a progress” . These pet phrases may be simple but useful to your teaching job. Create a Proper Language Environment The langu
