Guide to Choosing a Tutor

9. What is the Tutor's Attitude Like?

You'll find your whole learning experience, both in terms of enjoyment and results, so much more pleasant with a tutor who is positive, open and friendly. Tutors who tend to be authoritative or aggressive may project an image of efficiency and discipline on the surface, but in reality will generally be less effective in motivating their students to higher levels.

Follow this guide closely and you're sure to find a good tutor who will provide great value for money. Your knowledge will improve greatly, as will your academic grades!
