Helping Tutors Write Thank You Letters
Helping Tutors Write Thank You LettersWriting a thank you letter to a tutor is difficult because it involves a lot of emotion. However, writing a good one will make things easier on you and the tutor. Once you have that down, then you are on your way to enjoying an amazing tutoring relationship with that instructor.When I'm lucky enough to have a tutor who I'm very familiar with, it can be great to write letters to them and address all of the students who I am in contact with. There is an immediate connection that exists because I know exactly what type of person they are and know how they see the world. The other benefit is that when the students ask me to help them with a homework assignment or study guide, I know it is because I know where they are coming from.There are many different people who may need help in this process. Many students have personal issues such as parental issues, financial problems, academic issues, and even mental health issues. A simple and effective thank you letter is the first step to getting what you need. You can start by writing a simple one paragraph, introductory paragraph, if you wish. You do not have to go into detail but just enough to tell the student how much you appreciate their feedback and help and how much you respect them.One way you can open the door for further help is to express your gratitude for each and every comment and offer that the student makes to you. There should be no 'but' at the end of the sentence. Saying 'I thank you for your comments,' would be too ambiguous. Instead, 'I appreciate your opinion' is best. It's also important to make a note that the student will need to contact you again after completing a particular project.Another technique is to include a hand reference on the end of the letter. It should be a handwritten or typed note of some kind that says, 'These were your thoughts, and I love them.' Once again, be careful not to go into great detail, simply saying 'These were my thoughts.'If y ou are using a tutor, you can also express gratitude for any improvements that they make to your education. This is one of the best ways to develop a relationship. You can't always count on it to happen, but if the student shows some improvement on an assignment or study guide, include this in the thank you letter. You could also include this information with the hand-written note that you included earlier. Even if you don't give the teacher a hand-written note, include this information so they know they are appreciated.If the student doesn't bring any improvements to the table, there is no need to include a handwritten note of any kind. It may be wise to send a handwritten note or something similar if you believe the student will make improvements and then send them a handwritten note of their own. It is fine to say something like, 'This is great, please keep up the good work!'The final tip for writing a thank you letter to a student is to write down the names of the student, any d etails about them such as their likes and dislikes, and give them a personal message. You could be totally honest about it and give them the chance to learn and grow. Be generous with this information because they are willing to give it to you.
