There are many different roles in education. All roles require different skills. Here, we
also have some required skills to become a good tutor/trainer/teacher.
Communication– A big part of teaching is having good communication. You should
have good communication skills. With the help of good communication skills, you will be
able to deliver the information to your students in a very effective way. It should be
two-way traffic- what you are trying to explain, students need to understand and what
students are trying to ask, you need to understand. It should be loud and clear. It can
be verbal and non-verbal.
Creativity- Creativity is a huge skill, you must have. You should know how to
make the class more fun, interesting and effective. It is up to you to be creative in
your approach, finding novel and enjoyable ways for your students to learn.
Patience– First you should admit that all students are not the same, to their
level, way of understanding, grasping capacity, learning capacity, reading and writing
skills. Some of the students understand the subjects or concepts very quickly, while
some of them need more attention and time. Some of the students might ask you a concept
many times. At that point of time, you need to handle with more patience, calm, and
without losing your temper. You should have the skills to deal with these kinds of
students.
Enthusiasm– Your enthusiasm is infectious. If you love your subject and job, you
will be able to engage your students, what you teach.
Confidence– Some students can smell your fear, no matter with whom you are
dealing with, kids, or adult students. You should have depth/thorough knowledge about
your subjects because you are directing to your class. You should have enough confidence
that you can deal with any kind of situation, students, classes, and parent’s
question-answer session.
Dedication– Any work done in a good manner needs dedication. This is education
where you are dealing with the student’s future and parent’s dreams. Here, you need to
be more careful and have full dedication because you are going to be someone’s life
changer/ideal.
Conflict resolution– you should be able to resolve the conflict when it arises.
Especially it happens with secondary school students. This can be a big part of the job.
If you can defuse the tense situation before they explode, the teaching carrier always
welcomes you.
Organization– you should always be honest and faithful to the organization, you
are working with. Don’t try to hide any information related to student’s study to the
organization. If any dispute arises between you and student/parents inform the
organization right away, the organization will always sand behind you are right in your
point and good book of the company. Never try to cheat your organization because it has
given you a chance to prove yourself and to earn, learn and shine.
