Matching is more than finding someone who knows the subject.
A strong tutor relationship requires subject competence, the right level fit, reliability, communication, preparation and an ability to adapt explanations to the learner.
Subject fit
Relevant subject and level knowledge for the requested learning route.
Communication
Clear explanations, professional interaction and age-appropriate communication.
Preparation
Sessions should have a purposeful academic focus rather than improvised activity.
Reliability
Punctuality, attendance and timely communication around unavoidable changes.
Progress focus
Each lesson should move toward an identifiable learner priority or objective.
