I really like people! I know - everyone would say that, but I mean it.
As a young art student in Germany I was in jobs where I needed to understand other people's position. Working as a waitress in these times I always took the tables where we expected complains and I was usually able to stabilize a tense situation.
As a tudor for the Arts I focus on feeling out what the student is looking for, where would be her/his path.
The same I try with every tour group. Even though I travel sometimes with 50 and more passengers, I keep in mind that each of them is on the tour for a different reason and I want to make it right for each one of them - as far as I can. I do know my limits.
