Commitment / Other Details
I am currently a UniSim student pursuing a part-time degree in Social Work.I am able to commit on a regular basis,i am willing to commit till year end.However my timings and days are quite flexible,please feel free to discuss this with me.Thank you
Rapport Building
I would normally have a tuition file with the student name on it.In it will be the work assignments,test,weakness/strengths and questionnaire that i will be providing.I believe in a organised and systematic approach to receiving tuition,and i would expect any parent to feel the same way. I would highlight the difficulties the student might be facing as well as what are some of the common distractions that hinders one's progress in studies. Being a student myself,i understand the pitfalls and difficulties that only a student can face.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
To keep up with the curriculum,it is advisable for any tutor to know what would benefit the child.I would buy an assessment book for the child as well as read up on the current curriculum.I have friends who are primary school teachers,should i need assistance in understanding the curriculum,they would be more then happy to assist me.
As a Good Tutor
The most important quality i feel is commitment and a sense of responsibility.We are talking about a tutor that would inspire a child to reach new heights in life.No tutor should take that for granted.Passion driven is another important aspect of being a tutor.A tutor serves as a role model and a mentor for the child,this professional working relationship would enhance the child's progress.
