Benefits of Becoming a Tutor
|
|
Money |
|
|
Yes, you actually get paid money!
|
|
|
Personal Insight |
|
|
You learn more about yourself.
|
|
|
Empathy Skills |
|
|
You become sensitive to the emotional and intellectual needs of others.
|
|
|
Resume |
|
|
Since being a tutor does require special knowledge and skill, think how great it's
going to look on your resume, especially if you earn the
CRLA
Tutor Certification.
|
|
|
Knowledge |
|
|
The more you tutor, the more you learn about your subject area. The very act of
communicating the knowledge to your tutees will broaden your own base.
|
|
|
Role Model |
|
|
It's hard to work and go
to school. It's hard to have patience and empathy for others
when your own life needs your attention. People know
this and will become encouraged by your actions, thinking:
"If he/she can persevere, then so can I".
|
|
|
Ability to Listen |
|
|
Communication is both speaking and listening. One of your hardest jobs will be to
listen and to speak less. Learning to listen effectively will improve not only your
school and work relationships, but also your personal relationships.
|
|
|
Social Interaction |
|
|
Everyone needs to know how to act among other people, because - to use the
old quote - "No man is an island". Yes, as a tutor, you may be the
facilitator, but you'll learn how and when to give and take. Knowing how to mediate
and negotiate are qualities you'll need at work and at play.
|
|
|
Patience |
|
|
Since this is a tutor's most important characteristic, you will practice this often.
Patience will reward you throughout life.
|
|
|
Respect |
|
|
Being a tutor requires special knowledge and skills. People will respect you for
that.
