I've not had professional experience tutoring before, so unfortunately I have no ex-students to sing my praises :P I do however have tutoring experience in various volunteering programmes, where I taught English and Math. One of the programmes was headed by yours truly. I have a healthy amount of stamina and patience to work with kids who are less attentive than they could be.
Music - Piano - Theory (Beginner), Practical (Beginner)
Commitment / Other Details
Able to commit till end of August, depending on my university acceptance results. Apart from working hard to obtain that driving licence, no other commitments.
Rapport Building
Gradually, although I tend to put in more effort at the start and then let things occur naturally as time passes.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I won't keep myself updated with the school curriculum until I have a student under me. Should this be the case, I'll ask around, lurk on online forums and do my research + assessment book shopping.
As a Good Tutor
Stamina: Literally, physical stamina to keep up with the energy levels of younger kids. Mental stamina as well, to be able to continue to give one's best to the student one is teaching. I have a healthy amount of stamina and patience to work with kids who are less attentive than they could be.
Responsibility: Knowing that a child's education is in your hands and being able to remain accountable to the standards set.
Humility: Always being ready to teach, but ready to learn from your student as well.
