professionalism, organization and instructional style are 3 important key factors when it comes to taking on a role as an instructor. Students need a role model that not only instructs but also displays confidence, knowledge and passion for the subject matter being taught. As teachers, it is also our responsibility to continuously work on our professional development plan so that we may also grow as individuals in the teaching industry. Do not fall into the trap of becoming buddies with the students, yes, we can mentor and guide but also keeping boundaries is essential. Overall, strive to be a motivating, compassionate and dedicated tutor who wants nothing but their students to learn and succeed in the specific field of study.
