I believe that, as tuition takes place mostly after school or after work, the atmosphere needs to be relaxed and non-threatening. Learning is easier and more beneficial then. I expect respect from my students and they can expect the same from me.
I often become friends with my students or their families. Some of them have invited me to visit them in France after they moved to France permanently, or when they've bought a holiday home in France.
