6. What are your top recommendations to tutors who want to get more students?
Ans: Successful tutors build strong, personal relationships with their students.
Tutors fill a different role than teachers and parents, and that puts them in a unique position to support students. Personal relationships are foundational to student success — the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well. When a tutor listens and spends time building a relationship with his or her student, that tutor can:
- Truly personalize the learning
- Incorporate connections to the student’s interests
- Teach to the student’s strengths
- Minimize the student’s weaknesses
