The affectionate deportment between father & son offers, in truth, the best example for that of tutor & pupil
I really appreciate the comparison between a "tutor" and a "pupil" relationship and a father and son relationship. Learning takes dedication and motivation. Professors (tutors) help students with learning by demonstrating dedication and motivation. (as would a father demonstrate these characteristics with their son) Although in college, the student is completely responsible for their own studies. Professors help guide the student to success. UVA has exceptional professors that give that one-on-one attention to students. Many professors engage with students inside and outside the classroom. UVA also gives students the chance to interact with their professors with the "take a professor out to lunch" program.
