Tutors can teach various subjects to different students at different levels. In other words, the job is exceptionally flexible, giving the tutors many choices and options. However, there are certain <\/span><b>requirements to be a tutor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This article will take you through everything you need to know about tutoring. If you want to know whether you qualify as a tutor, keep reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vast and thorough knowledge of the subject you want to tutor<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Possessing tutoring soft skills<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Familiarity with pedagogical practices and teaching methods<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Relevant teaching experience<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Having a DBS check<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Compliance with the laws set by the Department of Education<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_a_private_tutor\"><\/span><b>Who is a private tutor?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we go any further, let&#8217;s define a <\/span><b>private tutor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make sure who we are exactly talking about. A private tutor is a teacher who teaches a specific subject to one student (in some cases, a few students) at the time and place of their choosing. Students or parents usually hire tutors when they want to quickly improve in a subject, such as a Foreign Modern Language or Computer Science, in a short time. Tutors can work with students with special learning conditions or good students who want to maximise their performance and realise their full potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_responsibilities_of_private_tutors\"><\/span><b>What are the responsibilities of private tutors?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tutor&#8217;s priority should be to adopt the best resources, methods and materials to <\/span><b>help the students achieve their goals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is a generic responsibility that necessitates other tasks for a responsible and professional tutor. Considering the big picture (student success), the tutor should work out a practical schedule and design personalised lesson plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monitoring_and_feedback\"><\/span><b>Monitoring and feedback<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important responsibility of a tutor is to monitor the learning process and identify the student&#8217;s strengths and areas of improvement. Effective monitoring is followed by giving feedback. Therefore, tutors should be aware of different tracking and feedback strategies. Additionally, tutors should keep parents updated about their child&#8217;s progress and ask them to contribute to the learning process when possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assessment_and_evaluation\"><\/span><b>Assessment and evaluation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional tutors often start the tutoring sessions with a placement test or an informal assessment to find the best starting point. Also, tutors should make assessments during the sessions and evaluate the student&#8217;s performance by the end of the tutoring sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Homework_assignment\"><\/span><b>Homework assignment<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tutoring facilitates and accelerates the learning process, but due to time constraints, it cannot cover every problem. Tutors should assign homework to make the students practise what they have learnt. Homework can also increase <\/span><b>student autonomy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and make them responsible for the learning process. It is worth mentioning that homework assignments are effective only when they are followed by the<\/span><b> tutor&#8217;s feedback<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So, you should make the time to check the homework.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_responsibilities\"><\/span><b>Legal responsibilities<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tutors based in the UK need to follow some state laws to protect themselves and their students. For instance, they should <\/span><b>report their income and pay income tax<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Also, although it is not a must, tutors should have a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/request-copy-criminal-record\"> <b>Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> check, as most parents ask about it before they choose you as their children&#8217;s tutor.

This increases your confidence as a tutor and allows you to put your knowledge and skills into practice. Additionally, there are a plethora of various paid and free tutor training courses on platforms like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/courses?query=teaching\"><b>Coursera <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.udemy.com\/courses\/teaching-and-academics\/teacher-training\/\"><b>Udemy<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 These courses can give you the theoretical background you need for a successful tutoring experience and compensate for the lack of experience. It is worth mentioning that you can work as an online tutor even with little or no teaching or tutoring experience on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/en\/start-teaching\"><b>online tutoring platforms<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like <\/span><b>Ostado<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-_Tutoring_soft_skills\"><\/span><b>4- Tutoring soft skills<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first attributes of an experienced tutor are flexibility and readiness to change the whole tutoring process. Students or parents often hire tutors to personalise the learning process. This means that <\/span><b>tutors should be willing to change materials, teaching methods, resources, logistics, and working hours based on the client&#8217;s preferences<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second major feature of a private tutor is <\/span><b>patience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Students usually get help from tutors in subjects that are rather challenging, including maths or physics. A good tutor needs to show patience when students struggle or get stuck in understanding certain concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third, tutors should be able to <\/span><b>break down complex concepts to make them understandable for the students<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To this aim, they should possess strong communication skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on &#8220;<\/span><b>What makes a good tutor<\/b><b>?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; to learn more about the hard and soft skills required for tutors.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Subject expertise and experience\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Approachable and friendly\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Focused and devoted<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Flexible and understanding<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Oral communication skills<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Motivational skills<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time Management skills<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Shrewd observer<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Patience and empathy<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Excellent interpersonal skills<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Having a positive attitude<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Professionalism<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b><b>Being reasonable<\/b><\/b><br \/>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In-person_vs_online_tutoring\"><\/span><b>In-person vs. online tutoring<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private tutors can practise their profession in several ways. They can work at a tutoring agency or remotely from their home. They can travel to the student&#8217;s place or ask the student to attend their place on a given date and time. The tutoring mode depends on <\/span><b>your preferences and circumstances<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, if you are living in a small town where there is not a high demand for tutors, you can work as an online tutor. Online tutors are not bound by time or place, thanks to the flexibility that online tutoring platforms like <\/span><b>Ostado<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offer.

I studied English Language and Literature for my BA, and my interest in the subject increased even further. After graduating with a BA degree from the University of Isfahan, I continued my education in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). I received my MA degree in TEFL from the Isfahan University of Technology. All the while, I was engaged in expanding my knowledge of the culture of native English speakers by reading novels, listening to English podcasts, and watching English movies.

My parents, concerned about my educational prospects, enrolled me in an English course, and thanks to motivating teachers, the fun learning environment, and, of course, my own efforts, I grew fond of English as the subject to pursue in university. I studied English Language and Literature for my BA, and my interest in the subject increased even further. After graduating with a BA degree from the University of Isfahan, I continued my education in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). I received my MA degree in TEFL from the Isfahan University of Technology. All the while, I was engaged in expanding my knowledge of the culture of native English speakers by reading novels, listening to English podcasts, and watching English movies. Consequently, my efforts brought me to where I am now: a skilled English content producer. I hope my content helps you make better decisions.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/majid-zare-dastgerdi-79267b89?lipi=urnlipaged_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_detailsfINxBmOjR5yAcl2jZ21q6g"],"birthDate":"1994-09-25","gender":"male","knowsAbout":["English Language Writing"],"knowsLanguage":["English","German","Persian"],"jobTitle":"English Content Writer","worksFor":"Ostado","url":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/author\/majidzare\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7311"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7311"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8894,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7311\/revisions\/8894"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
