As a tutor I will hold many responsibilities and have a great deal of duties to uphold. Those that I feel are most important are:
1. Encourager - Always encouraging tutee despite any obstacle they may face.
2. Honesty Provider - Be honest with your tutee; expound on their strengths and weakness and what precisely they should work on.
3. Team Player - Make your tutees aware that you will hold up your end of the "deal" if they hold up theirs toward your common goal.
4. Consistency - Always be on time, prepared and positive to allow your tutee that consistency with their college endeavors.
5. Passion/Relevance - Show interest (even if you are having a bad day) and help your tutee to connect their assignments/learning to their own lives. Make everything relevant.
I agree with everything you stated above because in my opinion, each thing you stated is essential to developing and maintaining a decent relationship with your tutees. Especially encourager, consistency, and passion because a tutee should never feel as though they are just a task (for lack of a better word).
