What's it like to be a Tutor?
Tutors are responsible for improving the learning potential of their students. This is usually done through one-on-one tutoring, or classes with small groups of students. Tutors create customised lesson plans for subjects such as mathematics and English. They also review their students’ textbooks to ensure they’re on track to meet learning objectives. Tutors can give students additional homework or projects to optimise learning opportunities and help prepare them for upcoming exams.
