Take an interest in them. Make sure they know that you care about them, their success and their learning. I think that I am able to keep the classes relaxed and get the students comfortable with me as a tutor. I want them to feel that they are my friend so that they can express their concerns and doubts. I think that I do that well.
I make the…
The most important task is to understand the students and how they learn. This understanding helps teachers in guiding their practice to ensure that all students are benefited from education. My patience and Goal directed behavior would make me an ideal candidate for this position. I have proficient interpersonal communication skills that form a…
I believe the most important thing I can do is instil confidence in my students. Learning new and challenging topics can often be overwhelming, so I wish to teach students in a manner that allows them to feel comfortable in asking questions when unsure so that they can gain confidence in the topics or subjects that I have taught them. I possess…
A tutor should be able to provide good advice for a student with respect to the individual needs of the student. By being flexible, open and available to help students as much as possible, tutors have the capacity to develop a deep and meaningful connection with them and students will be able to trust and learn more from the tutor. As high school…

I think the most important thing is that they feel motivated to learn, and that going to a tutor would be a fun experience for them. With that, a tutor should be able to clearly teach students and that the student can confidently go to a tutor knowing that he or she will fully understand his or lessons. They should always feel that the learning…
The ability to listen to what is required of them, effective communication between tutor and student and the ability to help them effectively understand the content. I feel I am patient and understanding to how individuals learn and have the ability to adapt my explanations to what is…
The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…
I believe a tutor is all about being able to be the middle man between teachers and students. They are able to act in a professional manner but also can individually suit the needs of a specific student. In doing this tutors are able to fill in those missing links and hopefully create a sense of confidence in students that they might otherwise…
Encouraging students on questions they find difficult and nudging them in the right direction to solve problems so they can do it by themselves without requiring help. A tutor also needs to be reliable, so the student can go to them for help when they need it. I am patient, have a positive attitude towards helping others and can explain things in…
A tutor should not just be present to give the student all the answers. Its about building confidence and understanding the student’s way of thinking in order to help them grasp concepts and overcome their academic difficulties. Its about taking on a leadership and mentor role so that you can guide your student, and making them feel comfortable…
So far all is going well , Andrew is fantastic and easy to communicate with. We have had three sessions so far and this term he will be working on the next unit of work rather than just exam revision.
All seems to be going well with Jared. We are overseas at the moment so have put tutoring on hold. Griffin said he likes Jared and is keen to continue tutoring, he said Jared is incredibly smart and always takes time to explain to him.
We were worried as Griff seemed to be really attached to Nick and couldn't believe you would have someone as good to replace him. Where do you find these amazing young men?
I know it is only early days but Harley and Owen seem to have 'Ëśclicked'. They are working really well and not only is Harley's confidence growing but also his understanding of the maths chapters they have been studying has improved. I no longer have to hassle him to do his homework - always a bonus!
