The child's family is very wealthy and the parents are very well-educated. What should I do if I feel intimidated when tutoring?

During the tutoring session, you discovered that the other party's family is well-off, highly educated, and knowledgeable. You felt nervous during the exchange because you were not familiar with the content you were teaching. You researched it yourself, but the children found out and expressed concern that they would question your teaching ability. You can feel your anxiety and helplessness.

Take a moment to reflect on the source of your nervousness and self-consciousness. Is it due to the other family's perceived superiority, making you feel inadequate?

Or are you outmatched by the other party's extensive knowledge? Or are you lacking confidence because you are not familiar with the content you are teaching?

It is evident that individuals with substantial wealth possess a profound level of cultural sophistication and a vast reservoir of knowledge. This is the foundation of wealth. There is no reason to envy or feel inferior. To achieve this state, it is essential to confront your goals with determination and dedication, gradually closing the gap between you and your objectives. These individuals have also traversed this stage, and you are merely observing the culmination of their efforts.

Those who are truly wealthy are not inclined to disparage those who are temporarily at a disadvantage. It is therefore important to express your views and reasons as clearly as possible, to be confident and relaxed, and to be open and honest. Given their considerable success, it is likely that they will be able to discern whether you are truly confident or not.

If they display behaviors that indicate superiority and arrogant prejudice, it is likely that they are uneducated, unqualified, not particularly wealthy, and have no reason for you to admire them.

If you are unfamiliar with the teaching content, it is advisable to prepare it in advance, practise it several times and gain familiarity with it. This will help you to feel more confident when teaching children and parents. As a tutor, you are in a position of expertise and can therefore be confident in your abilities.

It is important to continue developing your professional skills in order to achieve your life goals more quickly.

I hope you will be able to calm down soon and present yourself in a calm and collected manner.

It is not inherently problematic for a teacher to be identified by students via Baidu search engines (I have even conducted such searches with my own students).

It is the responsibility of the teacher to provide guidance and to instill in their students the understanding that knowledge is not solely derived from textbooks but also from the world around them. It is inherent to the human condition that no individual possesses complete knowledge, and that the acquisition of knowledge is an ongoing process. It is therefore to be expected that there will be gaps in one's own knowledge, and it is equally important to recognize when one is providing incorrect information and to rectify it in a timely manner. The crucial aspect is the means of acquiring accurate knowledge, discerning and selecting the information that is most pertinent.

Secondly, it is of the utmost importance for teachers to prepare their lessons in advance. Prolonged periods spent searching Baidu or consulting other sources are unproductive and detrimental to the learning process. Teachers must familiarise themselves with the textbook and have a clear understanding of the material they intend to teach on a given day.

Additionally, it is essential to comprehend one's own teaching methodology. While students may inquire, it is not mandatory to adhere to their line of questioning. In the event of a question posed by a student, it is acceptable to address it in the subsequent class, allowing for the necessary time to research and provide an appropriate response.

Ultimately, the educational objectives of the child and parents must be considered.

As you indicated, the child exhibits exemplary conduct, and the parents are similarly well-educated. Indeed, particularly among the progeny of affluent families, there is a greater proclivity to nurture positive qualities and to refrain from viewing individuals through a biased lens. However, it would be erroneous to assume that this is a universal phenomenon, as there will inevitably be exceptions. Nevertheless, the family in question still appears to possess commendable qualities.

It is therefore necessary to focus on the key points. The payment for education is made by parents so that their children can learn knowledge. If the child is able to learn knowledge under the guidance of the teacher, then the teacher has fulfilled their role.

It is therefore advisable to gain experience and to practise more at home, in order to avoid appearing timid and to prevent misunderstanding on the part of one's family.

The objective is to educate and provide guidance to children. It is essential to ensure their physical and psychological well-being while ensuring they complete their academic tasks. The emphasis is on knowledge acquisition. However, children may not fully comprehend the nuances of effective teaching. Nevertheless, when they interact directly with educators, the teacher-student dynamic assumes significant importance. This is particularly relevant in the case of older children, who are more discerning and may be influenced by the quality of the teacher-student relationship.

In conclusion, it is essential to address one's own deficiencies, meticulously prepare lessons, engage in rigorous practice, and seek to expand one's experience.

If one is a novice teacher, parents will not have particularly high expectations, so there is no need to be anxious.

Conversely, if parents require the services of an experienced teacher, they would not typically engage the services of a younger individual. Therefore, it is possible to observe and consider the priorities of parents when hiring a tutor, or the reasons why they might choose to act as their own tutor.

Some parents seek a tutor who can simultaneously provide childcare and academic assistance. A teacher can fulfill this role, enabling parents to relax somewhat while their children are in their care.

Some parents lack an understanding of pedagogical principles and seek guidance from professionals to support their children's academic development.

Some parents desire their children to flourish and aspire to enhance their academic performance, with the objective of enrolling them in a specific institution of higher education.

The aforementioned factors contribute to the formation of parental expectations regarding the role of a tutor.

Among these goals, the common objective is the transmission of knowledge in an organic manner, although there are also differences. Parents who prioritize the care of their children believe that the safety and happiness of their offspring are of paramount importance, and that learning should be approached in a joyful manner.

Parents who prioritize guidance may place the greatest importance on learning how to learn, education in character, and learning habits.

Parents who prioritize learning tend to espouse a test-oriented approach to education, placing significant emphasis on academic performance and achievement.

Prior to elucidating the objectives of the child or parents, it is imperative to educate effectively. This does not imply that teaching well is unnecessary once the objectives have been identified; rather, it suggests that additional elements can be incorporated alongside effective teaching.
