Success or Flop?

To me, the thing that makes a tutoring session successful is having the student be vocal. If the student isn't talking, the tutor wouldn't know the areas the writer wants to work on. The tutor needs to be patient (obviously), they have to take their time, making sure the writer understands how to fix their specific issue. Having a positive attitude, not showing any form of uninterest (whether the topic is boring, or the writer is rambling)-actually helps the writer relieves some of their nerves, and calm them down before dealing with the project at hand.

The foundation of "good teaching" and "good writing" in my eyes, is patience and understanding. As a writer, you need to understand who your audience is and what you're writing about, and you have to have the patience to sit and write it. The same is for a good teacher. Understanding your student and their capabilities, it can help you to teach them in a way they can understand.

All of this to say, just have patience and understanding.
