A good tutor is someone who understands your learning needs and desires, and adapts their teaching style to meet those needs. Learning should be an interactive process, with the tutor and the one being tutored offering equal conversation and interacting in meaningful ways together. The best tutors are able to balance the need for specific content mastery and the desire to instill a love for learning as a general concept.
