Tutoring is an old age practice. A tutor is a person who gives individual or in some cases small group, instruction. The purpose of tutoring is to help students help themselves or to assist or to guide them to the point at which they become an independent learner and thus no longer need a tutor. In addition, a successful tutor demonstrates a caring attitude.

There are many benefits of tutoring:

• Encouraging higher level of thinking.
• Providing more empathy with students.
• Increasing motivation to learn in order to maintain new role.
• Improving attitude toward subject area.
• Heightening sense of competency.

Ultimately, tutoring is sharing yourself with yourself with another student in a way that makes difference in both your lives.
