How to be a good English tutor?

A good English tutor needs to be knowledgable about the rules of the English language and have a thorough understanding of modern grammar. English has many different exceptions to speaking and writing, and a good English tutor is able to explain those exceptions in a way that students can understand and remember. You must be a good listener and have a lot of patience to be diligent and focused on helping your clients improve. Great tutors have excellent communication skills and make sure to keep parents up-to-date on their child's progress. English tutors who work with older students should also be excellent writers and have a broad vocabulary to be able to critique writing assignments and other projects.
