| Guardian Tutors |  Guardian tutors prefer to use reliable methodology they have successfully used before and often model their teaching style on traditional techniques they experienced as students. They try to explain with step by step procedures, rely on routine, and encourage learner-instructor interaction. They are more likely to prefer well-planned teaching methods that have been proven through experience, although they can also be spontaneous. They are willing to learn new teaching techniques, provided they have adequate time to adapt to changes. Guardian tutors are dependable and hardworking, often taking on extra commitments to serve their students. Such teachers create and preserve harmony in the classroom.
Guardian tutors will likely provide clear, detailed syllabi, definite instructions for assignments, and clearly communicate their expectations for student conduct, behavior, and academic achievement. Such teachers can set standards and adhere to them so strongly that they may have trouble realizing they may need to bend to some situations. They are more likely to have attendance policies and stick to them and they are the least likely of all types to tolerate tardiness.
Guardians tend to make comparisons, when lecturing. They tend to refer to events from the past with a high degree of detail and accuracy. Guardian tutors remember specific techniques that did not work well and are not likely to retry them. They tend to be the school historians –they are the ones to ask for details regarding previous college events. They can be seen as pessimistic, since Guardians at times expect things to go wrong. Nevertheless, they believe they are merely being realistic, anticipating what really could happen. They try to apply to rules and regulations and expect students to do the same.
