I have been tutoring since the 9th grade. This has included tutoring different students various types of subjects such as English, Maths and Biology, etc.
My academics include
IGCSE 5A^ 2A
CIE A level 2A* 2A
ACCA (all 14 papers)
Bsc. In Applied Accounting.
Academics are certainly fundamental in order to become a sound tutor. However, it is certainly not the only quality, as you have to be able to absorb information and then transmit it to your students in a manner that makes it relatable, understandable and most of all fun to follow through.
