Tutors are responsible for delivering academic instructions and support to students outside of a classroom setting. They may teach individuals or work with small groups on both proactive and corrective bases. Some tutors offer help with specific concepts such as reading comprehension, mathematics, and writing while others provide general coaching. Tutors also offer coping techniques and test-taking tactics for students who suffer from exam anxiety. A great tutor has hard skills in one or more academic areas, strong interpersonal communication, active listening, and a true concern for others.
