What Do You Think Is the Characteristics of a Good Online Tutor?

To be considered a good online tutor is somewhat of an art. First of all, being good with people automatically gets you ahead of the game, if you are not a person; do not even bother to apply. Being a tutor requires patience and willingness to give your students as much time as they need to complete a project. By adding extra pressure toward your students creates stress which in turn puts more negative thoughts in your pupils head. It is a great way to earn extra money and ensuring you fit all the required boxes, you can make a decent profit from it.  You will also need to treat your students with respect and in turn they will respect you, I have seen it time and time again if a teacher is doing all they can to pick holes in somebodies work then you do not wish to motivate yourself for this person. t is important that online teachers should be able to reveal to students any form of tricks and errors always made concerning the topic of a lesson. This will impart confidence in their students wherever they go because they will have vast knowledge.

Gain your pupils respect and understand that every student is different, some like to complete their work on the same day and some may struggle and take weeks. Offer regular advice and offer yourself for help whenever your pupil needs it, nothing says job satisfaction more than going above and beyond to be there for your student. I believe that an effective online teacher requires students to participate in discussion board topics and small group projects, this ensures the student does not stray from the lesson plan and it replicates the sense of involvement you get in a face-to-face class and it will motivate the student. Also, it's imperative for the elearning course materials to be well-organized and easy to navigate. Being comfortable on technology is essential, being able to work the programs and understand the powers of the internet will be key to providing an excellent online tutoring session.
