Berry - Another Attribute for Tutors

I would add approachability as an attribute to tutoring. Tutors must be aware at all times what type of presentation they are offering to a tutee. Tutors should lead by example and be ready to greet and work with any student. It has been my experience that a person who needs help doesn't always know what they need or how to ask for what they need. If a tutor is approachable, a student might find the answers they need from any tutor not necessarily the one they are assigned to. As a personal example, students that have encountered me before and know that I am pretty good with math, will stop me in the hallway and ask questions, or simply talk to me. I hear lots of problems, whether they pertain to math or not because I am always smiling and if I am not busy they know that I will help if I can or find the one who can if I cannot.
