Beane - Additional Attribute
If I were to include an additional attribute for tutors I would say Following-Up with Tutees. Often when a semester ends or when a tutee no longer requires your assistance a tutor will not see them or keep in touch. Because of my teaching background, I find that ending that positive relationship can often be hurtful for both parties. Keeping that connection could lead to future opportunities for collaboration, or an instance where a tutee could be an asset to the tutor for something that they need help with. Sustaining positive relationships (despite how small a tutor/tutee relationship may seem) can be very important for everyone involved.

You make an excellent point, and it kind of goes along with what I stated earlier about not making tutees feel like they are just a task (for lack of a better word).
