How to Cope with End of School Year Tutoring Sessions
As tutors, often your busiest time of the year is at the end of the school year. As teachers and students are nearing the end, you’re just beginning. Students are frantically trying to set up study sessions with you and you’re trying to juggle your calendar and figure out how to meet with all your students. Enjoy this fun little article and know that we’re rooting for you in these final weeks of the school year!
1. Lots of coffee (or caffeine of choice)
You’re probably working late and long hours fitting every student into every spare moment you can find. Caffeine is your friend this time of year.
2. Eat well
While caffeine will keep you going for awhile, it’s important to eat well to keep your body running smoothly during this busy time.
3. Remember to breathe
You may have students coming to you completely lost and unsure of where to begin studying. We’re so appreciative of your patience with your students during these stressful times. But remember to breathe.
4. Distractions
It’s important during stressful times to allow some healthy distractions. Whether that’s going for a run, watching your favorite TV show, or reading a book, give yourself time away from tutoring to recharge before your next session!
5. Take time for yourself
When all is said and done, take some time for yourself and put yourself first for once! Your students are now through final exams and onto their summer plans. (Some of which may include studying with you!) You deserve a break.
