Tutors must be genuinely interested in the growth, development, and provision of a safe and nurturing environment for the students they teach. A tutor’s ability to establish authority and connections through leadership, communication, and, most importantly, patience will be required in giving our students the stability and nurturing atmosphere they need to succeed.
