Show Notes
This week, Neil discusses a very special sub-group of his very own students – a group he likes to refer to as “The Remedials”. All tutors will have come across students like this in their tutoring journey. In this episode Neil shares his thoughts on how to get the best out of them.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A remedial is a long-time practitioner of their craft, who has become stuck in their ways. Sometimes it takes an external perspective for them to move forward.
- It doesn’t matter where you come from in life or how skilled you are in your field, the influence of a tutor can always be beneficial.
- Change comes incrementally. Look for the areas in which you wish to improve and then focus and refine.
BEST MOMENTS
“I’ve had multiple moments of insight and clarity”
“I’m a bit of a contrarian, I like to run against the grain of things”
“Many of them want to move on. This is when I get the Obi Wan Kenobi phone call”
