Qualities of a tutor

i. A tutor is the president of his class: He /she oversees the class. He decides how things are done in his class. By so doing, we do not allow the parents or pupils dictate how the students should be taught. Clients are given maximum respect and honour but should not dictate to tutors means of tutoring.

ii. A tutor is emotionally intelligent: The key word here is empathy. It is one of our core values. This is the ability of a tutor to understand and respond positively to the emotions / feelings of the students.

iii. A tutor is a lover and a care-giver: This is the central point of education. Tutors should lavish love on their students. Never allow your student to be starved of your love. When a student realizes, and is sure of your love for him / her, he / she goes all out to learn what you are teaching him. Students do not like to make tutors who love them angry. Care for them and protect them. Go out of your comfort zone to show them that you love them.

iv. A tutor disciplines through love: This is very important to us @tiptutors. We do not spank our students with cane or in anger. Do not punish a child (that is if you must punish) without letting him / her know the reason why he / she is being punished. NEVER EVER inflict injuries on any of your pupils. It is never tolerated by us.

v. A tutor triggers inspiration: A tutor is full of wisdom and inspiration. He inspires his students to believe and dare the impossible. He leads his students to self-discovery. He uses words to stir up motivation and willingness in the students to learn and apply.

vi. A tutor is an addicted learner: This is probably the greatest definition or characteristics of a tutor to us @tiptutors. Tutors are shrewd and addicted learners. They are voracious readers. A tutor is an information hunter. He/she is always on the lookout for information. By so doing, he never allows his students to lag in any dimension.

vii. A tutor is smart and meticulous: A tutor must be smart in speech and appearance. A tutor does not talk carelessly. He understands when to talk and when to keep silent. Knowing fully well that words can market you positively or negatively, a tutor uses accurate languages always. A tutor pays attention to details. He or she is painstaking in preparation of lesson notes, teaching / coaching period and during marking of pupils’ notes.

viii. A tutor is a good listener: Conventionally, it is believed that tutors do the talking, while students do the listening. The reverse most times is the case. The pupils/students most times should do the talking while you do the listening. They have a whole lot in their hearts that you need to listen to. Pay attention to hearing them speak their minds.

ix. A tutor is patient: Patience is a great virtue if you must succeed as a teacher. There are special pupils with special characters. Some can really get you so angry. But, that is how they are wired! Children are meant to display incredible manners. You must be patient enough never to use hot temper on them.

x. A tutor is presentable: If you do not dress properly, you will be addressed as a hungry tutor. Tutoring is the most noble profession of al, times. You must dress properly, speak fluently, communicate effectively and possess a noble carriage to effectively represent your profession.
