Be a responsible tutor. When you are patient and nurturing, parents appreciate your efforts. Remember that every child is capable of using strategies you teach to find the knowledge, keep the knowledge and constantly improve from where they are

Provide the student more chances to speak up throughout lessons. This will help him/her to better understand the content. The student will likely then become more comfortable to speak out in your presence

Once you sense that the attention span of your student is decreasing, you should learn how to change topics or perhaps offer the student a rest. A five-minute break can certainly make miracles for a student

Speak with the parents if the student isn’t paying attention to you, and suggest ways to better involve the parent and student in your lessons

Responsible tutors can make learning real, relevant and rigorous. Such tutors are experts in their academic content – they thoroughly understand the subject’s concepts, ideas and problems

Being a tutor is a formidable yet rewarding career. It is a great challenge to take, and all the effort you put in is worth it because you have the satisfaction of working one-on-one, and seeing your students overcome challenges

Whether it is tutoring Math, English, Physics or Principles of Accounting, you are providing the knowledge, attention and time a student needs in order to learn difficult subject matter

Many students have lowered self esteem because of poor grades and difficulties with learning. By carefully and expertly working with them, you are giving them an enormous advantage to work at their pace and for them to ask questions without being ridiculed

As a tutor, you are able to nurture students and help them enhance their knowledge, raise their confidence and help them succeed
