Results doesn't matter.
What matter most is your teaching skills and the understanding
of the knowledge. Examples: Trigonometry.
Do you know the basics of trigo well? If yes, how would you apply
it to the daily life? Are you comfortable
in manipulating the formulas and explain it clearly and
yet in simple terms to your student?
Starting out first is hard, indeed. You will get to learn when
you are teaching the student. Every student that you will be
getting is different and in the course of your teaching, you will
actually realized that being "dynamic" is the key point
in teaching career to cater each and every student needs.
Being able to identify the "types" of student i.e. (Kino, audo,
visual) is vital for you to design the lessons well to suit his/her
needs in learning.
As a private tutor, I myself still undergo learning everyday.
Learning how to be a good teacher that motivates and inspires my
student. As a teacher, we are also a student.
