Is Being a Tutor Right for Me? Tuition is not teaching. Teaching involves classes and curriculums, tuition turns everything on its head. Instead the focus is on one single student and their requirements. Crucially you are rarely introducing them to the topic, instead you are repeating another teachers work. Often you need to go back years through their work and deal with the basics where they have gone wrong. Tutoring is a student focused concept, often closer to peer learning than teaching. At the same time, it can be intimidating for a student to sit there whilst an authority figure stares at them. You will also have to have a lot more interaction with parents than you do as a teacher.
