Mark van Doren, an American Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and writer, once said that "the art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." True indeed, every teacher should be a nurturer of ideas. Every teacher must be brave enough to accept even the silliest, most unusual thoughts of their students. Who knows, maybe that seemingly absurd thinker is the next Einstein or Newton.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to know effective nurturers from bad ones. Teachers are marked with traits that definitely allow them to stand out. This also holds true for tutors. The qualities that separate effective teachers and tutors from ineffective ones are the following:
Innovative
Teachers and tutors must be creative. They are not bound by the conventional teachings. They are rather ready to employ untraditional teaching methods when necessary.
A good teacher is marked by his determination to excel not only in his field of specialization, but also in the field where he finds challenging. It is not necessary for him to be always right. He welcomes oppositions too as long as the topic or subject matter calls for an insightful debate.
A Lifelong Learner
A good teacher knows that not all lessons in life can be taught. Experiences often serve more effective in teaching life lessons. A good teacher therefore is not afraid to fail for he knows that with failure comes learning and with learning, understanding flows. After all, failure can enrich wisdom and nurture personal development once handled well.
A Great Moderator
A good teacher is kind yet authoritative, conscientious yet always ready to listen. He is also patient and determined to bring out not only the best in him but also the best in his every student. He is quick to reply, but slow to judge.
Good teachers don't just tell; they explain. They do not only demonstrate, but they inspire as well.
Others might say that hiring personal tutors is costly, but bad teachers cost more. Thus, it is important to seek teachers and tutors who are willing to give more than what the students are bargaining for.
