Tutoring often resembles a "mirror" of the education system, reflecting both its strengths and weaknesses. Interestingly, one lesser-known aspect is the “Pygmalion effect” in tutoring. Tutors' high expectations can significantly boost students' performance, akin to a self-fulfilling prophecy. This psychological phenomenon reveals the powerful, transformative influence a tutor's belief can have on a student’s success. Now, I'm curious to hear about your personal experiences with tutoring. Has there been a moment where expectations, either high or low, profoundly impacted your learning? Share your story!
