Encouraging a positive attitude in online learning will ensure an enjoyable and rewarding experience for both the students and the tutor. It also motivates students to develop their personal skills, interests, and talents. Negative thoughts can hit you like a brick wall and it will close in on you.  It can keep you from reaching your goals  It can keep you from moving forward in life – whether you are trying to grow, learn or just be happy.

Negative thoughts can also hold students back from reaching their true potential. One way of stopping this is to encourage a positive outlook and attitude. This also applies to private online tuition as it can have an impact on the student’s performance.

A Positive Mindset is Connected to Motivation

A student with a positive mindset and more motivation is more likely to excel in their academics. Motivation is the key to helping students persevere challenges that they will encounter.  Actively taking opportunities to collaborate and reach the goal they set for themselves.

Set an Example

You should model an encouraging and positive attitude in everything you say and do. Optimism is very contagious. Positive thinking can lead to positive outcomes.  When your students can see positive outcomes in their online tuition classes, they will more likely want to experience the same outcomes for themselves. You should model optimism in your tutoring.  This creates an ideal learning environment for your one to one online tuition classes.

Empower Your Learners

You should empower learners to maintain a positive attitude. Some courses in eLearning are so focused on information delivery that they forget about the human element of it. You should make your students be the focus of your online tuition classes. When you follow a learner-centered approach, you will be able to address the different strengths and weaknesses of each individual student. If your learners feel as if they can control their online learning experience, they will be encouraged to participate more actively in the online tuition classes. It is an excellent idea to acknowledge and praise their strong attributes to encourage positivity in online tuition classes.

Eliminate Any Negative Talk

When you hear them saying, “I am unable to do it” or “I can’t”,  you should step back. You must bring it to their attention. Ask them questions like:

• “Why can’t you do it?”
• “Where is this coming from?”
• “How will I be of help?”
• “What do you need so you can do it?”

After learning the answers, you can lay out an action plan to help your student remove the barriers. You must show the student that you are doing this with them. Together, you can create a plan that can encourage them to take the necessary steps to achieve the desired result/outcome.

Celebrate Small Successes

One of the best things to promote positivity in online learning is to celebrate successes, whether it is big or small. This is applicable to both individual students and the educators, both inside and outside the online tuition space.

Online tutors on the OTAK Platform always strive to celebrate the successes of their students to encourage them to achieve more. Their successes are highlighted during the online tuition class as well as in the feedback form that is sent to parents after each session.

Positivity is important in any situation especially when it comes to learning, and even more so during challenging times.
