Adherence to these items would promote successful tutoring because if they are followed correctly, they enable things to run under optimum performance. Out of the few, the ones I hold most important would be preparation, enthusiasm, and communication. Any key factor in any relationship is communication. And, if one's not prepared or optimistic, then things will go awry and people would not want to attend tutoring sessions. If I had to add a trait to my personal ethics would be humility. Tutors should always be modest about the help they lend their tutees and allow them to understand they accomplished what they did due to their own personal effort and dedication they put forth.
April, I agree with you completely. It looks like you, Denise, and I were in the same mindset when we wrote our responses. I like the way you said that we should allow the student to understand what they accomplished by their own dedication and effort. I couldn't have said it better myself.
