What makes a good or bad tutor? (1 Viewer)

[turtleface]

I was wondering if anyone had opinions on this and specific issues like:

Do you think its better to cover all the work set for that tutorial at a rushed and superficial level, or to cover most of the important aspects very well (i.e. explain it slowly in a way everyone understands) and let the students do everything else at home in their own time?

And do you prefer just listening and taking notes or do you like it when tutors ask you to answer questions?

And does it annoy you if tutors don't write up notes and just talk a lot about everything and you have to copy what he/she says?

Those 3 points are just some examples, are there any other key things you like/hate about certain tutors?

Clear english.

Engaging tone.

Clear english is important but most important is being able to communicate information top students regardless of their accent.

You can have an accent and still speak english clearly.

You can speak english clearly and still be a shit tutor.
