Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start anytime and am willing to commit for months. Private tutoring would be better as I am able to focus more on one student's abilities and take relevant steps from there.
Rapport Building
I usually get to know the students' background and their interests/ hobbies. Then regarding the subject they need help in I would ask them what they find challenging and need more help in. This is to make them feel more comfortable with me first, so that during future lessons they would not hesitate to ask questions. During the lesson itself and teaching, I ensure that they understand everything that is being taught. So even if they do not voice out their doubts, I will highlight certain points to them and ensure they understand before moving on.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
As a Good Tutor
As a good tutor, I think that you do not need to be a professional or get a PHD in your field. But it's about being able to convey concepts well to students in a way that they understand. Each student has a different way of understanding things, so the delivery may change depending on every student. Patience is also key. This patience from tutors does not only reassure the student, but also allows them to be more comfortable when asking questions, without having to feel afraid/ apprehensive.
