Usually students say that Geometry is very boring subject or difficult subject to learn. Bringing the attention of students towards Geometry and making them learn the subject is very tedious task. It may be hilarious to hear this but the fact is teachers, private tutors, and online tutors feel difficulty to get it done. Well here are tips (which may relief you from burden) for teachers to grab the attention of students in Geometry classes:
• Handle unusual method of taking classes:
When I think of my Geometry classes, I could recollect few things which I usually do in classes. It is nothing but being in state of confusion. I struggle a lot to understand Geometry concepts. Sometimes I feel to run out of class. It’s all because I felt that Geometry is most difficult subject. Even simple concepts made me afraid. The idea which I like to give to teachers/private tutors is “Handle classes in unusual manner”.
Instead of solving Geometry problems for complete one hour, you can divide sections to share jokes, discuss formulas, say your experience of teaching, few problem solving strategies and finally end up class with revision of concepts taken. First start classes with discussion of formulas then move on with problem solving. In between share few jokes, this will bring students back to form. At last you can revise the concepts. This is perfect methodology of tutoring students.

• Good stories will help you:
I agree that discussion of long stories will take up most of your class hours. Thus stick with short stories which take only five minutes. The story should encourage students, make them confident. Not only stories you can also say few ideas or tips to handle Geometry exams successfully. You will automatically become one of favorite teachers among students and they start obeying your words.

• Make students to memorize formulas:
We made analysis on reasons for failure in geometry exams. And it is mostly due to problems with formulas. There are two categories of students, who usually fail in Geometry exams,
1. Forget formulas,
2. Forget procedures/concepts to solve problems.
Duty of private tutors or teachers is to help students memorize the formulas.
• Home work helps you to identify students ability:
Give homework regularly and note the performance of each student. Through this you can understand whether a student is attentive in class or not. Make them solve one or two problems on their own in class hours. You can provide tips to solve the problems but don’t give direct answers. Let them try and finally they will achieve to solve it on their own.
• Encourage students by giving small gifts:
Practically this step is not possible always. But you can give small gifts like pen or any study materials occasionally. Just make a student to stand on stage and can give applause when he/she did any achievement. This is a vote of confidence through which they are encouraged.
