Find English Teachers
Lyn Mbau
In order to find a good tutor for kids, I usually look at many different attributes. I don’t have kids of my own but I have two siblings and as the elder sibling, it was my duty to find a good tutor for my younger siblings. What I looked for in a tutor was experience, empathy and a motivating mindset. The reason I looked for experience was because the more you tutor, the more you become better and more effective at it. I also looked for empathy because to be an effective tutor, you need to be able to see things through your student’s eyes and that way you can be able to help them grow through their language learning journey. The way I found a good tutor for my siblings was through my university English teacher who introduced me to someone she believed was one of the best tutors she has ever met. What I value most in language teachers is the ability to be empathetic and accept their student’s mistakes without making them feel bad over mistakes.

Corrected Version (British English) To find a good tutor for children, I usually consider several key attributes. I don’t have children of my own, but as the eldest sibling, it was my responsibility to find a suitable tutor for my younger siblings. The qualities I looked for in a tutor were experience, empathy, and a motivating mindset. Experience was important because the more a tutor teaches, the more effective they become. Empathy was equally crucial, as a good tutor should be able to see things from their student’s perspective, allowing them to guide the learning process effectively. I found a tutor for my siblings through my university English teacher, who introduced me to someone she considered one of the best tutors she had ever met. What I value most in language teachers is their ability to be empathetic and to accept students’ mistakes without making them feel discouraged. Short Tip: Use precise wording and avoid redundancy for clarity. Also, “student’s mistakes” was changed to “students’ mistakes” to match the plural context.
