What Makes a Good Tutor in Vancouver and in British Columbia?

What Makes a Good Tutor in Vancouver and in British Columbia?

Susan Cumberland Published: September 25, 2012 Last Updated Date: May 30, 2016

As a parent seeking a tutor in Vancouver BC, or a tutor in BC in general, it is obvious that you would want the best tutor possible for your child. Finding a good tutor is also vital because a wrong choice can leave a permanently bad influence on your child’s mind. Hence, leave no stone unturned when it comes searching for the perfect tutor for your child. If you make a hasty decision when choosing a tutor, you might end up messing up the very foundation of education of your child.

Tutors should have knowledge of the subject and good training in how to be a teacher

Having ample knowledge on the subject he is supposed to teach is the fundamental criteria of hiring a tutor. If you have to end up teaching your child the subject that the tutor is supposed to handle, you are wasting your time and money.

He or she must be able to successfully communicate with your child and make them understand the subject matter with clarity. They should not try to make your child learn false information on any topic just because they do not know anything about the particular topic.

Uneducated and untrained tutors like this are the worst thing for your child. If you are satisfied with the level of expertise possessed by the tutor, you can just sit back and leave your child’s learning in the tutor’s hands without a worry.

Tutors should be professional and considerate, not salespeople

Just because a tutor is going to teach primary and secondary students does not mean that he or she has the excuse to be unprofessional. In such cases, first impression is vital. Observe how the tutor interacts with you and your child from the very first consultation.

Is the tutor discussing all the required details of the job they are about to take up, or just babbling nonsense? If all they care about are their fees, they will keep jumping back to the topic of the money they are going to charge.

Such tutors are no good because they don’t care whether your child learns anything throughout the year. They are satisfied just by getting the money you agreed on paying them. Hence, professionalism is required in a teacher but make sure the tutor does not give you the vibe of a salesperson.

A good tutor pays attention to the child’s needs

A teacher must act as a philosopher and a guide for your child apart from teaching them bookish knowledge. A child looks up to a teacher and at times even idolizes them. A teacher should be responsible in fostering good habits and manners in a child.

A tutor or teacher should also be aware of the degree of strictness that should be adopted for teaching a child positive values of life. If the child is shy and quiet, the tutor should be soft with when trying to make them understand anything.

The tutor should be patient enough to deal with children who are slow in grasping facts. Becoming angry just because the child has asked some questions out of curiosity is not a commendable trait for a tutor. If the child has grown fear or misconception about something, it is the duty of the tutor to clear things logically and practically.
