may be I'm being too cruel
ok it's pretty embaressing because it's really silly, but since schools started I'm taking over helping my youngest brother and teaching him his studies at home, but I because really obbsessed over his exam results, and I just become really nasty whenever he gets a bad result, I mean sometimes I'm the one to blame, because I forget to teaching him something specific , I mean I even became pretty stressed lately , and I starting waking up and finding out that i've been pressing hard on my teeths*old habit*, so I dunno what to do, or how to teach him stuff at home, the boy is pretty active, he can't stand concentrating for too long, he loves to move around and play and teachers always tell me he is pretty yappy and chatty and he moves alot , and yet doesn't like to concentrate at class, so anybody knows a right way how to help him at home, and make him get good results???, he is bad, I mean he comes back home and knows almost everything he took at school he get find grades but not as good as I want him too, most of the time , I find his mind pretty much in rome or china while I'm teaching him 
I need help I feel I'm under so much pressure and that I'm the one to blame when ever he screws up

Start beating him.
He'll thank you for it eventually.

Eek! you sound like those overly-competitives Dads on the sidelines who shout at their kid for everything they don't do right, just because they weren't succesful as a kid.
You should teach him they way he's comfortable with. If he's very active, do something that won't bore him etc....

hehe, thats not true, but i feel blamed whenever he gets bad result or teachers complain or something, but what i'm asking is a fun easy way to help me with teaching him, how would I convence him to concentrate at class and to do what I'm asking him to
,aybe a link on how to help teach these kids would help
if he gets good grades tell him you'll take him to a theme park or something, and don't get mad at him otherwise he won't enjoy learning
Awww Don't be so hard on yourself. You have tried your best to teach your little brother and that is very sweet of you. If he gets a bad mark in his exam, it's not the end of the world, he can improve on what he did wrong and do better next time.
If the teacher says that he's very chatty and likes to move around, I suggest you to do a game that involves movement and verbal and maybe your brother will take in more information that way. Oh and always give him a treat when he has worked hard, and give yourself a little treat as well he he.
Hope I've helped

Hey habosh,
Wow you're a really nice sister, teaching your brother! Can I ask, why do you need to teach him? That's not a criticism, just a genuine interest! I could never teach my brother when he as younger, he wouldn't listen!
Ayway, to answer your question, or at least attempt to, there are many different teaching methods (I'm sure you're aware of) and some work for others, whilst some don't help at all. See, as you say your brother moves around a lot, he may be more of a 'doing' learner as opposed to a 'study' learner. He might find things stay in his long term memory if he actually 'does' them. Some people can't sit and read books, and retain all the info. Ther are other types of learner, such as 'visual' which would obviously include pictures, and depending on the 'type' of learner you are, you will learn better from different methods. If you two aren't the same type of learner it might cause a bit of friction, as it seems to have, but a compromise will overcome this. For example..'You read about this battle then we'll act it out' just so you get a bit of both in.
As for you being a bit disappointed with some of his grades, I'm not sure. Maybe let him know he's done well but 'lets beat that next time' just so he won't feel bad for not getting the top marks. Then if he does better next time you'll take him for a treat...his choice (within reason if you decide before hand!) could be from a McDonalds to a new T Shirt! Whatever he'd like!
Finally, this is probably obvious, but let him know you're still his sister and you love him for being him, not just for getting an 'A' grade. Have fun with him, without incorporating study, and just have times when you chill (I'm sure you both do!) It will help!
I just have to say once again, 'Well Done' for being so fab! You must really care about your brother to put in all this time and effort!
I'm sure the rewards will be more than enough for this!

Well I need to teach him because he gets exams and he needs to get high marks and I don't want to blame my self if he got low mark, and I want him to have a bright future so that buy being bright now ,it will be easier for him to get high marks when he goes to uni and at his A level
..etc he is 10 btw , I do it for my mom, because she doesn't have the patience to teach too , I just feel I'm being too hard on him, sometimes I don't give him any time to play, I do the prizes stuff, and punishments like if he doesn't study I remove his cartoon channel off the tv list or hide his cars
and i promised him a big reward if he gets high marks this month, and the thing is that he has the ambition he says he is going to, maybe i'm treating him like an adult or a teenager rather than a child. I've been searching the net since like ages to find websites that might help me with teaching him, ways and stuff, and how much time daily for his age but I don't seem to find any
All i have to say is, i'd hate to have you as a sister. :P
habosh
and thanx alot it pretty much gave me an idea, maybe I should try new ways of teaching
This site might be some use? Maybe help you see what teaching style your brother suits, as you know him better than us! Might be worh a look anyway
I do see your point though, you want him to do well, and he wants to do well so at least you both have a common aim!
Good Luck and he will appreciate all your efforts, even if he doesn't when he's 13 and getting into girls
You are a really great sister! * gemchicken

How about, award him every time he does well, like a doggy...like give him treats..but not too often or else he'd think that it's not expected of him.
Thus, punishment or reward. Choose one.
In fact, when my parents instilled the notion that "straight A-s" were the only acceptable result, I eventually ended up pushing myself. I was the one upset with my A minus, and my parents were the ones to say "that's okay"...
If you really instill in him the idea that nothing less is acceptable, he will eventually push himself.
