I always made my students feel extra

special on the 1st day back to school.

Let them ease back into the school schedule.

Give them a nice warm inviting feeling about 

the class and some of the things that they will be doing during the year.  The same way I do with my new students that I Tutor.  This is why my students find it so easy to talk to me

and tell me the things that they aren't understanding.  That is so important with a Tutor is that a student feels comfortable with them in expressing what they do and don't understand.
