It has to come from my intention to teach and improve the student's quality of life. Without it, teaching will be bland, inauthentic, and forgettable. It also has to come from giving students the ability to think and solve challenging problems by themselves. Without it, the student will not develop independency or grit to solve life's ordeal. One…
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to assure them that they are making progress. They shouldn't be compared to their peers, but rather themselves from before.

Helping the student not only improve their studies, but learn how to better study and learn independently when at home/in school.

Tutors fill a different role than teachers. They can build more personal teaching relationships with their students and therefore should aim to:

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student would be helping the student gain confidence in the area in which they are struggling. A tutor can do this through adjusting teaching methods for the most benefit of the student, helping them but not doing it for them and also providing encouragement and support. I have a lot of…
Identifying the problems and challenges that the student is currently facing that is preventing them from answering questions or understanding an important foundation to meet question criteria.

One of the most important things a tutor can do is instill confidence in their students so they can tackle problems they were previously unfimiliar with on their own, as well as perform in high stress environments, such as tests. The best way to do this in my opinion is to go through practice problems with the students untill they fully…
The most important a tutor can do for a student is to identify the student's unique learning style so I would be able to present information in a way that has the greatest effect, and make an impactful difference to the student's learning. My strengths as a tutor include simplifying difficult topics by breaking down the topics to the core…
I believe that the greatest affect that a good tutor can do for a student is to infatuate the student into the subject, meaning to truly engage and interest the student in the topic. Once this happens the student will grow a love for the subject, leading them to career paths regarding this subject. This will more importantly grow a work ethic for…
I touched on some of these points in my previous answers, but as a tutor I believe the ultimate goal should be to provide one's students with an academic toolbox in the form of an understanding of the fundamental principles of any given topic. By covering first principles, and providing students with problem-solving abilities, he or she can then…
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give the student confidence that they can complete problems on their own and be successful in their studies.

I would love to offer some feedback on Derek.
I discussed this response with Jaidan last night and he requested that I let you know that he thinks Derek is AWESOME.
From my observations,Derek quickly created a great rapport with Jaidan which is important for effective communication.
I have queried Jaidan after each session and feel that he is benefitting greatly from Derek's input.
He is feeling more confident and very comfortable to source support from Derek. I could not ask for more at this stage so thank you and more importantly please thank Derek on my behalf.
For now, we won't be continuing but we haven't ruled it out for the future. We were very happy with your service and Jade is a beautiful person! She has helped Keegan with her confidence in Maths and helped improve her grade this year. We postponed tutoring at the end of term 1 because Jade had covered as much as she could before introducing new work, which we didn't want to do until it came up in school. Therefore, we had a break to see how Keegan went, and she's had no problems thus far.
If any problems pop up this term, I plan to get in contact with you and Jade ASAP!
Aiden is really happy with Faraz. He felt a bit awkward the first week but the interactions were much better the second week. Aiden finds it very useful because he needs guided revision (it's not necessarily about learning the content). Definitely a good investment!
