• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  Being a good tutor involves a combination of qualities that contribute to effective teaching and positive student outcomes. I think most of the first issue is the subject Knowledge: A skilled tutor ought to be well-versed in the material they are instructing. This entails having in-depth knowledge of the subject matter in addition to having the capacity to communicate difficult ideas in a way that students can understand. Second important issue would be clear communication skills. Effective tutoring requires clear communication. A competent tutor can answer questions from students in an engaged and helpful way, communicate material succinctly and clearly, and offer constructive criticism.

  Most important issue I face with students are forced by their parents to get tutoring. This is indeed, makes my job harder. I can understand if a student has the passion of learning less than one minute when I start to tutor. I am against for teaching/tutoring to students who are forced to do.
