Well, no need to worry as Tuition India is here for your help. There are several ways through which you can improve your home tutoring skills and can earn that extra income!

Tip #1. Understand your students’ requirements keenly - When first knowing students, you need to understand what they already know. Evaluate their thinking level, judgment level, how they tackle a problem, are they already cleared with the basics of concepts, how sharp their mind is, etc. Let them speak first open heartedly and listen to them patiently. Do not try to cross-cut their points. This will showcase you as a good and patient listener. Hence, you would be seemed as a good tutor.

Tip #2. Set up goals together - You must try to set goals together with your students. If you allocate some targets to them, then be persistent about them. Observe daily what is hindering them from their targets, how focused are they on achieving their targets, are they determined or do they get distracted by petty things. Just giving them targets to accomplish will not help you at all. You also need to exert those extra efforts along with your students.
"The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask him which he finds it hard to answer." -Alice Wellington Rollins

Tip #3. Do not focus on fixed and static schedule - Having a fixed timetable for a long time is not beneficial at all for proper management of all subjects. One needs to create a dynamic schedule by covering all the subjects and putting emphasis on more important subjects. You should evaluate every subject properly and then create a suitable timetable as per the needs of the student.

Tip #4. Remember the breaks are also needed - Give short breaks to your students at equal interval of times. Don't be a boring tutor, try to be entertaining also. Teach any concept or lesson in funny ways or you can even use punch lines to make them understand. Even in break time, do not discuss anything related to the studied subject. Ask them questions like whom did they admire most, or about their interests, or what are they passionate about!

Tip #5. Be generous as much as you could - Yes, you might get irritated by same repeated question of your student or even get frustrated by their silly questions being asked all the time. Well in this situation, do not get annoyed at all. Try to control your frustration, smile at their questions and answer them in a very polite manner. Any sort of anger should not get reflected on your face at all.
Following these tips is not a difficult task. All you need is a little bit of patience mixed with above mentioned tips to become a good home tutor. There is a well famous quote by Heraclitus saying, "Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character."
