TUTOR CODE OF ETHICS

 

  • Subject proficiency and knowledge have top priority in my position as a tutor.
  • My student deserves and will receive my total attention.
  • The language we share must be mutually understandable at all times.
  • I will honor the confidentiality of the tutorial relationship.
  • I must be constantly alert of my ability to admit my own lack of knowledge and to seek assistance.
  • Respect for my student’s personal dignity assumes acceptance of that individual without judgment.
  • My student will be constantly encouraged but never insulted with false hope or flattery.
  • I will act so that my openness and honesty will produce similar openness and honesty from the student.
  • I will not impose my personal value system or life style on my student.
  • The student and I will always understand that my role is never to do the student’s work. 
  • The use of positive motivation is important for building my student’s self- confidence. 
  • I count on my student to also be my tutor and to teach me how to do a better job.
  • Punctuality and keeping appointments are essential on my part, not only out of courtesy, but also as an example for my student to follow.
  • Records will be maintained as expected and required.
  • I will do my best to stay informed of the current literature about tutoring as it relates to me professionally. 
  • Effective tutoring enables the student to transfer learning from one situation to another. 
  • Making learning real for the student is what tutoring is all about.
  • My student’s independence is my ultimate goal.
