completely different. This time around I have concentrated on illustrious characteristics
which make eminent tutors differ from their competitors.

Tutoring is not an easy profession.
It requires lot of dedication and hard-work on the part of the tutor. There is
lot of stress that needs to be dealt in a positive manner to make things easier
for the children. A part of tutor’s
job is to make life easier for the children. If they are able to do this
through innovative techniques they are termed to be different from their
competitors. They get a distinguished attention from the child’s parents and
also get full support of the child. But what makes these tutors different from
their competitors. In this blog I will highlight key characteristics that make eminent tutors different from
their competitors. But first of all let me tell you something that I have
learned from my personal experience. A good tutor always thinks from
the perspective of a child and understands their psyche thereby changing their
teaching methods according to the mood of the child. According to Albert
Einstein,
“It is the
supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
Let me now discuss the characteristics which make some tutors
distinguished from their competitors:
- Proficiency of the tutor: A good tutor shows their proficiency with the way they handle the child; and teaches them through different techniques. Every child has a different temperament. Some are very quiet, while others like to waste time. Hence, it is the duty of a tutor to make the child learn the subjects through creative ways; so that they can develop interest in the topics instantly. This can be done through story-boards, asking them to write the story of the lesson in their own words without looking at the book or show visuals of animations of the chapter and ask them to write the story in their own words. This will help children in developing interests in the chapters and hence; would showcase the proficiency of the tutor in handling the child tactfully without using force.
- Familiarity of the subject: A good tutor is always ready for teaching even in late evenings. This trait makes them different from others. They are so enthusiastic of the subject that they fail to notice the time that they have spent with the children. They are always eager to share their knowledge with the children and are very good at learning new things. They showcase their talent by displaying their ability of making the child understand the chapters without any problem through different teaching techniques. They are specialized in that subject and so have gained mastery over it which makes it easier for them to impart knowledge to the children.
- Professional approach while dealing with difficult situations: A good tutor always shows professionalism while dealing with a tough child who is adamant of not studying. They use all their skills in making the student learn the subject through different methods in a professional manner. They never lose their cool when the child misbehaves or when they deal with the parents of the child.
- Instant availability of tutor most of the times: Now this is one of the most important characteristics which makes a good tutor differ from ordinary ones. A good tutor always takes out time for the child whenever possible. Even if they are not able to devote more time they ask the child to send them email and be in touch with them in case of any problem. Always remember that a good tutor will always have personal touch with the child most of the time. This is also one of the ways to gain confidence of the child in terms of teaching ability of the tutor.
Eminent tutors are
always different from their competitors in these points. But the one thing that
makes them most desirable is the ability of connection that they build with the
children. They make friends with the children as soon as possible and try to use
different teaching methods to make children understand the chapters in a
fun-loving and creative manners.
I would look to conclude this
blog by mentioning a quote from John Lubbock,
“The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.”
