Give him a quick assessment test to try and find out which aspects of his language is he weaker in and which are his strong points... Where his interest lies and what he truly detest...Originally posted by dont know much:Any professional experienced tutors to advise me on how to tutor a primary school kid?

Any NIE-trained personnel
who's kind to advise me on the recommended assessment books for a primary 1 boy?
Or rather, if you may let me know of relevant websites/ forums ? -
read books. speak to him/her in complete sentences
-
key is incentives
come out with a rewards system like stickers collected in exchange for a small gift etc....then for every book read or book review done can give a sticker or wat lor....good tests results can also reward....teach english must have incentive one or else if child no interest very hard to teach -

patience, vigilance and determination.. read books.. my eng was pathetic before, but reading REALLY helped me a lot.. don't make kids read newspapers and stuff.. read really nice novels like harry potter or books by roald dahl.. these are really great books, and it APPEALS to children.. don't force them to read, integrate it into their lives slowly.. forcing or demanding them to read isn't gonna work, you gotta let them ENJOY reading.. the appreciation means a lot to their future development.. it'll be good for them.. take care with your child.. don't stress him out with assessment books and tutors.. integrate healthy reading into his life and let him enjoy reading.. i'm sure there's nobody in the world who hates reading from the bottom of his heart..

Try giving him test and spelling to see whether he is poor in grammar or vacabulary....
give him test first to guage the weakness in english then try to improve in the areas he is weak in...
But I teach primary school boy before..., they are more active and playful then girls...
u like to move around and tease u... sometime u will not sit still to listen to u teach....
The if their grammar is weak, buy more grammar books and give him do and tell him to explain why some of the grammar mistake... -
then for long term improvement in English, tell him to read more , give him newspaper to read and have a test in the newspaper...
interesting articles and tell him to summary the paragraph...
read to him some interesting story and give incentive when he answer correct or perform well.... like sweet or sticker, or golden cards...
then to build rapport, share some anime or cartoon character like pokemon, one piece and anime character.... see what he is interested in...
then can play some english games with him...
Hangman! -

Reading materials can be from Enid Bryton for starters.
Try getting EDB published assesment books but you should source for better books. -
you're supposed to do your own research.Originally posted by dont know much:he's in primary 1.
Any recommendation of author's assessment books?
that's part of your job.
go to Popular bookstore and look through all the assessment books on various subjects, compare them and buy the best one.
and make sure you've studied them before lesson starts.
don't make a dick out of yourself infront of him. -
