From my experience, don't talk to much, in fact as little as possible (this applies to a wide range of ages).
Assignments seem to be the best, kids like to be doing something. Some kids can just sit and read, but many cannot do that for even moderate periods, so make sure they understand what you want them to do first. Start with something easy and then progress to something a little more difficult. Go around and check what they are doing right from the start. There is nothing worse for kids than to be half way through something and find they are on the wrong track.
Correct them fairly gently and find some way to encourage them by praising some aspect of what they have done.
Vary the written work with oral work, throwing questions to the group with introductions like, Who Knows...., Who can tell me...., etc. Insist that they raise their hands instead of calling out the answer, which will make it more competitive and pupil orientated. If some seem to be getting left out you can direct questions to named individuals.
Good luck and have fun.

The first of all,you should know what your kid is interested in.
If possible,let him study what he is more interested. If you have to let him study something that he doesn't really like,try to find some connections between what he should study and his interest.
Kids is not able to focus on one thing for a long time,especially when he is not interested.Don't force him to study for a too long time.

Remember: study is not just from books!
You need to know what sort of a learner your child is - visual, aural or kinaesthetic (multi-sensory). If in doubt, chose the latter. There is an old adage: I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand. Anything can be made interesting if you apply it to real life situations, especially if the child has a particular interest and you can be inspiring!

Take them to interesting places and get them to make a project or play about the visit.
Get them to role-play to explore the topics they are studying and let them use a video camera to record themselves.
Check out websites like planet science for ideas of fun experiments you can do at home.
Provide your kids with a large space for study. Convert your spare room. Get big tables and a huge drawing board. Decorate in calming colours. Buy lots of cds, books, posters etc. Give them lots of rewards.

Depending on the age, make things fun by turning everything into a game. I've been tutoring kids for five years, and there's little that can't be turned into a game for kids 5-14.
Card games are great for numeracy, literacy is a little harder, but you can do wonders with memory games.

kids how old? My son would be interested in anything hands on, he is almost 7 and hates school already because he says it's " boring", which I think is a crime, because he is very smart, and with good teachers in the right atmosphere, would learn to love school, he really loves learning new things and wants to be a scientist when he grows up. His school is just not doing anything to keep him interested.....
