Rapport Building
Connecting with the candidate is very important for building trust and respect. Knowing what each individual needs is very crucial to their growth in acquiring the knowledge required. Being observant for each individual children under tutelage is the key to help them grow into a responsible and morally correct person in society. Education encompasses the moral up bringing and the attitude of learning. Instilling the importance of knowledge and wisdom coupled with the process and methods of assimilating information and producing the desired outcome is important for learning. Being able to apply such knowledge and use them in our daily life is the essence of learning. For such the process of learning and the way we gain new knowledge is important. The total way we learn has to be intuitive and make sense to the student. Helping them to overcome their own limitations through methods of building confidence and knowledge is important. Visual plus hearing and application solidifies the knowledge and creates a permanent memory when it is properly indoctrinated within the person. The amount and mixture of such stimulus is therefore the teachers' responsibilities when tutoring the students.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
It is very important to keep up with existing curriculum as the knowledge gain will be tested by the relevant authorities, so the arena or area of tested knowledge has to conform with the testing authorities in the end. Curriculum dictates the knowledge that should be acquired by each individual with the set age group and so it keeps a normalized form of standards within each age group. Thus, the student should be able to converse with each other within this group age as set by the curriculum of each school and country.

Encouraging them to read and be able to explain the school work and connect with real life applications. I understand the brain development window of growth before these children reaches 16.

Most of my important formation years was in the USA which promotes thinking.
