Tutoring Approach:

Without loss of generality, assume a tutee tries to solve a problem in a tutorial session.
1. Determine what the tutee knows and what he does not.
2. Observe the tutee while he solves the problem (e.g. how many times he need to consult course material).
3. Look at the solution. (a) If the solution is correct praise him and ask him to explain why this way of solving and not another one. This tests if he has full understanding or whether his solving of the problem is mechanical. If he cannot find an alternative give hints. (b) If the solution is wrong, ask tutee questions in a way that makes him find out the mistake by himself, so in future exams he has the ability to tell whether his solution is right or wrong before the exam finishes. Identify what kind of ambiguity in his understanding led to this mistake and make sure he has clear understanding.
4. make sure he has the necessary knowledge and problem solving skills to tackle exams.
5. Make solving problems fun rather than a terrific challenge.
