How to be a good tuition teacher?

Good Tuition Teacher






How to be a good tuition teacher?
Tuition teachers are special people. They need not be intellectually bright but they must know what it feels like not to understand. They must be creative, able to explain a concept by using stories, drawings, analogies, or metaphors. Tuition teachers must be affirming people, humble and patient.
Are you an “A” Student in Singapore?
It is not necessary to be an “A” student to be a good tuition teacher in Singapore. But it is necessary to like people. It is also necessary to listen and patience. Tutoring is not so much an act of sharing information, as it is a process of empowering. The focus is primarily on helping people learn how to learn. Sometimes this means teaching them to take smaller bites of information, and sometimes it means reformatting content so that it is more meaningful to the person learning it. But whatever strategy is required; the goal is always get your student to understand something.


At Stanford Tuition Singapore, we are always looking for excellent tuition teachers. The best tuition teachers ask questions that create understanding, help learners develop study skills useful in any course, and present material in novel and interesting ways. If you have these skills, if you love learning and would like to help others learn, we need you.
