Profession Tutor. Training programs

Despite the fact that the profession of a tutor is closely related to the profession of a teacher and has similar features, it differs both in form and in methods of work. We invite you to get to know this profession better.

For complete mastering educational material For some children, lessons at school alone are not enough, or more precisely, attention from a school teacher. Of course, teachers must ensure that every child understands what the teacher is saying. But it is not always possible to do this, since each student perceives information in his own way.

What to do if a child finds one subject more difficult than another, or if he needs more time to understand the topic, and the hours allotted by the school curriculum are not enough for this? It is in such a situation that the help of a tutor is needed, who accompanies and supports the child throughout the entire period of study, helping him fill gaps in knowledge.

Despite the fact that this profession is closely related to the profession of a teacher and has similar features, it differs both in form and in methods of work. We invite you to get to know this profession better.

Who is a tutor?

Educator, mentor, guide and personal inspirer. This person covers all aspects of a child's education. He doesn’t just provide knowledge, he understands what the student needs, taking into account his strengths and weaknesses, identifies aptitudes and interests, and also helps develop the student’s abilities. The tutor works both with preschool children and with students of higher educational institutions. That is, the scope of his activities includes everyone who needs individual training.

The name of the profession comes from the Latin tutor (protector, guardian). Tutoring originated in the Middle Ages. Many, at least once in their lives, have heard about the “wandering students” of the Middle Ages, but not everyone knows about the peculiarities of education in those times. At that time, freedom was very important to people. Students were free to do what they liked best, and had the right to independently choose the disciplines they wanted to attend, and were mainly engaged in self-education. In this situation, they really needed a mentor who could identify the subjects that were truly important to them. The tutor accompanied them throughout the entire period of study from beginning to end, and acted as an intermediary between professors and students. Over the years, the profession has become entrenched in the Western education system and acquired clearer boundaries.

In Russia, the profession arose recently and is better known to many under a different name - tutor. Its spread is associated with an increase in technological capabilities, transformation of the educational sphere, and changes in teaching methods caused by changing living conditions.

Among the responsibilities of a tutor are:

• development of individual teaching methods using modern resources;
• identification, formation and development of student abilities;
• organization of individual learning process;
• preparing the student for exams, admission to an educational institution and accompanying him throughout the entire period of study;
• assessment of the individual achievements of the ward;
• planning the curriculum in collaboration with teachers of educational institutions.

The tutor plays a very important role at work in special inclusive schools. Children with disabilities cannot integrate into society as easily as regular schoolchildren, so they need special attention and support. To work with these guys personal teacher much more knowledge is required, and he is also assigned more responsibilities in accordance with the needs of the ward. In this case, they work using different methods and help children not only learn the curriculum, but adapt to the team. However, this does not mean that the mentor does all the work instead of the child. His task is to provide assistance in some difficult issues, and most importantly, he must teach him to be independent.

Distance education, which also requires the help of tutors, has become widespread today. Online learning uses different methods and involves remote contact with the teacher, so his responsibilities are somewhat different from face-to-face work.

What personal qualities should a tutor have?

To become a tutor, you need to have many important qualities, but the fundamental one is love for children. It allows a person to overcome all obstacles on the path to understanding, establish contact with the student and identify his individual abilities. A child who feels hostility towards him will never listen to an adult and see authority in him, so sincerity and kindness come first in this work.

A high level of responsibility, discipline and psychological stability must accompany every action mentor. The tutor must find a middle ground between giving the student independence and monitoring his actions. He guides and pushes the child at every stage of learning, but at the same time carefully monitors his actions and corrects mistakes with special tact.

In order for the learning process to take place smoothly and effectively, a specialist needs to have organizational skills, be communicative and have oratory skills. All this will help present the material and make the lesson interesting and exciting, which is very important for the perception and mastery of new knowledge.

Other qualities that will be useful to a tutor in their work include:

• activity;
• optimism;
• determination;
• high level of culture;
• penchant for analysis;
• practicality;
• prudence;
• calm;
• Creative skills;
• developed intuition.

Advantages of being a tutor

A personal teacher can realize himself by working both individually and in various special educational institutions with groups of children. In cases with an individual lesson format, emotional stress is reduced, because interaction with one child does not require the distribution of energy among the whole group.

Today, in the educational field, the demand for the profession is increasing and, accordingly, the demand for specialists is growing. In addition, this specialty is on the list professions of the future, so the tutor does not need to worry about being busy both now and in the future.

In addition, the level of wages increases interest in the profession on the part of specialists. Depending on qualifications, the average salary of a tutor in Moscow ranges from 35-100 thousand rubles, and in Russia tutors receive from 8 to 33 thousand. Conducting individual lessons also brings good income: from 500 to 1000 rubles per hour. Plus, such lessons do not have a time limit and allow you to set your own work schedule.

If a specialist likes his work, he will receive great moral pleasure from communicating with children and the opportunity to open up a world of knowledge to them and broaden their horizons.

Having enough experience and knowledge, you can engage in individual entrepreneurship and open your own school or training center.

Disadvantages of the tutor profession

Although working with children is enjoyable, work curator of the educational process involves more responsibilities than simple communication with wards. A lot of time is spent preparing for classes, which requires a constant search for materials, long periods of sitting, and eye strain. If you do not approach the issue correctly, it can negatively affect your health.

Another negative factor is constant emotional tension, which often causes stress. Constant pressure from parents, students and management can cause depression and frustration.

Individual lessons have not only advantages, but also disadvantages. So, in order to achieve a certain level of income, a tutor needs to constantly advertise his services and look for students, since when teaching 1-2 children, although he will have a lot of free time, his salary will be low.

Where can I get a job as a tutor?

Unlike Western universities, which have long included this specialty in their training programs, Russian universities began training tutors relatively recently. But the popularity of the profession is gaining momentum, and soon it is planned to increase the number of educational institutions that train these specialists.
