"Hello my name is Hakeem Lavelle I am here on behalf of Expert Village to do a how to video on teaching a foreign language. Now we are talking about finding a tutor. Finding a tutor. Well finding a tutor is depending on exactly what you need... and the best way to find a tutor is know exactly what you are looking for. Example: you can be looking to learn Arabic well what exactly are you trying to learn. You may have a tutor who can teach you specifically grammar, a person who can teach you colloquial speech. A person who can teach you poetry what exactly are you looking for, what is this person qualified specifically to do. When you are looking for a tutor you have to be specific and you have to understand that a tutor is not a book. There are advantages to a tutor. You have to value a tutor. A tutor is different from a book. A book is a reference. A teacher is someone who has to follow a program. A tutor is someone who has now come to transmit information directly into your head specifically to you and has to direct everything or give everything towards you. How you learn, how you adjust, what your needs are, so this is a person that is specifically geared towards you. So you have to know exactly what you are looking for and find the person that is qualified in that field. So the best thing advice that I can give on a tutor is you have to know specifically what you are looking for and you have to find someone who specifically works in that field or in that area of study and whatever language you are studying. Thank you!"
