Does gender play a role in tutor selection?
Posted on: 3 September 2022, By : Anwesha Majhi
Traditionally, those who give tuition at home are typically female. There are also male teachers who accept students out of a genuine enthusiasm for the subject. They may be working as teachers in schools or they may teach in the evening hours only for the passion of teaching and the comfort resulting from an additional income. However, female teachers have historically made up the majority of those providing private tutoring or visiting houses to do so. Some male teachers also do house visits but what factors determine the gender of the tutor?
Male and female tutors are both intelligent and excellent at what they do. Their honesty and loyalty cannot be questioned.
A teacher is the one who supports you the most, next to your parents. Do you really differentiate between your parents? None of us will do it. Hence, we shouldn't ever differentiate between a male or a female tutor. They ought to be respected and treated equally. You will never be able to learn from them if you create this kind of division between them.
The efficiency with which a teacher teaches lessons to the students is dependent on a variety of elements, including the personal characteristics and knowledge of the teacher. In general, it is determined by a person's knowledge, preparation for the topics they choose to teach, instructional strategies, and notes. If a person has the necessary preparation and expertise for the subject, regardless of gender, they may teach effectively.
There is just one factor that possibly distinguishes between a male and a female teacher. The only thing is physical stamina. However, this has no direct connection to how a person teaches. Your ability to learn from your teacher mainly depends on how attentive you are in class.
