Tutors and Trainers

Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits

Any experience teaching young people that you can obtain while in school will be useful in these careers. Trainers usually have several years of experience as tutors.

Besides being skilled in the topics they teach, the best tutors are excellent communicators and are poised, friendly, and instantly at ease around new people. Tutors must also have great patience, especially if their student is having difficulty with a subject. Well-trained tutors will find other methods or approaches for teaching the lesson until the student understands the topic.

Successful tutors are also creative, oftentimes calling upon new inventive ways of instructing and inspiring their students. They must have strong communication skills, be organized, and enjoy teaching others.
