I offer coaching using Khan Academy for all of my regularly scheduled tutees.  Khan Academy is a great resource for all students to independently learn new material or to reinforce material they already know.

Khan Academy provides tutees with detailed tutorials on most skills they will be working on.  When students add me as a coach I am able to view their progress.  This allows me to see where each tutee is strong and where they are struggling.  I am also able to recommend certain skills to be worked on by the student.  By having students work on a skill before we meet I can utilize the data to better prepare for our next session.

Parents are also able to sign up for Khan Academy and monitor their child’s progress with the material. Here are some testimonials from parents who have utilized Khan Academy for their children.

During our first session I will typically provide students with a reference sheet for the class/material they are working on.  The reference sheet will provide students with means to find important information for their class.  It will also provide them with my contact information and information on how to sign up for Khan Academy and add me as a coach.

Here is an example of a reference sheet for Algebra II/Trig:

I believe it is my job as a tutor to not only assist in the learning of material, but to also provide students with the knowledge of how they can learn new things independently long after our sessions are over.
