Here are some helpful tips we've compliled about tutoring teaching. We hope they prove useful.

Phonetic dominoes
Are your students bored with boring pronunciation exercises? Try this as a possible solution. We all know the game dominoes. Well, this is a phonetic equivalent, where, instead of having to find a six to go with a six, students groupings of, say, three or four, find a word of one particular sound to go next to another of the same sound. They will need to pronounce the words to each other

Practicing sentence stress and intonation
Write the following sentences on the board:
1. I think Oxford is so boring!
2. I don't believe it!
3. I'm feeling a bit depressed today.
4. My father doesn't like my new boyfriend.
5. I think you're lying.
Now what you do is hum one of the sentences. Students must identify the sentence that you are humming by listening to the sentence stress and the intonation and matching it to one of the sentences above. You try it. You'll find that you actually say the words in your head, trying to match the intonation. When you get the right one, you know it instantly. This makes students more aware of the importance of sentence stress and intonation in spoken English. It can be made more difficult by making the sentences of a similar length, for example:
1. My father, who died last week, left me? 1 million!
2. My brother went down the pub; he was very depressed
3. The farmer who lost all his sheep has sold his business.
